Re: WAIN
My ducks are tending to stay on our higher ground. 
Everywhere is completely sodden and a lovely norfolk pine tree that has been part of our view for the past 10 years couldn't take anymore and is now a pile of logs.
So much rain that there has been sewage leaking into the sea again & many slips on the roads.
Mind you The Ranges are now looking suitably snowy when the clouds clear .
Still, the weather forecast is more for this week & that includes Canterbury.

1580mm (63in) of rain since 1 Jan - just as well we are 128m above sea level - for some reason my wife wants a tumble dryer?. At least we are warm up in the Far North - no heating on yet

Yes, especially as it's supposed to be summer over here

Re: WAIN
And still it keeps on raining. Our lawn is so saturated that you can actually hear the water in it .
I can't get near our raised beds and fruit trees as the area around them is just a muddy bog. Not happy.

Re: WAIN
We seem to have gained some additional water features in our garden too - the grass is in danger of becoming a duck pond.

Re: WAIN
We drove north from Auckland today - two to three hours of monsoonal rain (to the point of almost having to stop). Extensive flooding. Got to 4km of our place, over a small hill, and it was dry as a bone?? Perhaps tomorrow :-)
