I pā mai ētahi ua nui 'tino kaha' ki te rohe o Kāpiti

I pā te awa o Waikanae, i waipuke te rohe o Ōtaihanga, i puta he waipuke mata i ngā wāhi maha, ā, i paheke te huarahi o Paekākāriki Hill i te ua nui i Kāpiti i te Rāhina.

I mahi tahi ngā tīma whakahaere aituā o te Takutai o Kāpiti (KCDC) me te Kaunihera ā-Rohe o Te Whanganui-a-Tara ki te Tari Whakahaere Āwhina o te Rohe o Te Whanganui-a-Tara (WREMO) i te whanaketanga o te āhua o te rangi.

I kī a James Jefferson, te kaiwhakahaere o ngā mahi ohorere o KCDC, "i tino pai te āhua o te rohe".

"I taupokina ētahi pareparenga wai, engari kua tirohia ēnei, ā, kei te ora katoa, ā, he iti noa ngā whare i waipuketia engari kāore i tino nui, he waimarie."

"Te āhua nei kāore he raruraru anō i puta mai i te tai nui."

I te mea kua matapaetia he kino ake te huarere i tēnei rā, he mea nui kia noho mataara tonu ngā whānau, kia whai mahere pai hoki mō ngā āhuatanga ohorere, tae atu ki te noho rite ki te neke mēnā ka kino haere te āhuatanga, te waea atu rānei ki te 111 mēnā e hiahiatia ana he āwhina ohorere.

"He whakaaro pai te whakawātea i ngā taunga wai me ngā waikeri, ā, e matapaetia ana he hau i muri mai i te wiki, nō reira kia mau pai ngā taonga katoa e kore e rere."

I mea atu a Jefferson, "Whai muri i te hotoke tau, he whakamaumahara tēnei ka rerekē te puna, ā, me noho rite tātou katoa mō te wā e kino ai ngā mea."

I kī te tohunga huarere a MetService a John Law i puta ai te ua i te puhoi o te nekehanga o te hau i ngā wāhanga o raro o Te Ika-a-Māui puta noa i te wāhanga tuatahi o te rā.

"I roto i te whānuitanga o te ua ko ētahi ua nui me ngā whatitiri. Ko te ua nui rawa i te wāhanga tuatahi o te ata."

I roto i te ine ua i te Wainui Saddle, i kitea te 33.6mm i waenganui i te 7 i te ata me te 8 i te ata. I roto i ngā hāora 24 ki te 4 i te ahiahi o te Mane, i kitea te 96mm i te teihana. Ko te ua nui rawa atu i ngā Pae Maunga o Tararua, i kitea te 80-120mm i roto i ngā hāora 24 kua hipa. I kitea te 121.1mm i roto i ngā hāora 24 kua hipa e te ine ua a te GWRC i Oriwa.

Ko te nui o te ua i roto i ngā haora 24 e tata ana ki te takutai ko: 52.4mm i Waikanae, 43.2mm i Paraparaumu me 34.2mm i Levin.

"Mō ētahi horopaki, ko te toharite ua mō te āhuarangi o Ākuhata i Paraparaumu he 71.8mm, ā, i tēnei marama kua puta he 127.8mm o te ua," te kī a Law.
