The latest Hotspot Watch is attached. A huge Hotspot
now covers Northland, Waikato, Auckland and Coromandel
Peninsula. There is now nowhere in the North Island where
soil moisture levels are normal or above normal.
An
animation showing just how fast drought has developed since
the beginning of the year in these regions is available for
your use here: www.niwa.co.nz/static/media/drought
Hotspots
are growing in the South as well, including Hurunui, parts
of Marlborough, Nelson and Tasman.
If you're using Scoop for work, your organisation needs to pay a small license fee with Scoop Pro. We think that's fair, because your organisation is benefiting from using our news resources. In return, we'll also give your team access to pro news tools and keep Scoop free for personal use, because public access to news is important!
