River flows

 

November – February river flows

Summer river flows were relatively high in western Taranaki, some parts of the central North Island, and the Canterbury foothills. Unusually low summer river flows occurred in Auckland, eastern Taranaki, and central Hawke’s Bay. Record low summer flows occurred in two western South Island catchments.
