How much rain?

Plenty. Enough to float a flotilla of rubber ducks. But don’t take my word for it – here’s what rain watchers Mike Taylor and David Riddell say.
August
Puketaha: 138mm
Gordonton: 123.5mm
So overall, very similar patterns for last month. Puketaha was slightly wetter but Gordonton had the wettest single day, with an impressive 25mm on the 30th.
