Summary
El Niño’s grip is tightening over Northland, with forecasters warning of a prolonged dry spell that could rival the historic 1997-98 event. Expect less rain, higher temps, and rivers still running low despite a late-August downpour—groundwater in Taipā and Awaroa remains critically depleted. With spring rainfall predicted to be below average, farmers and water managers are on high alert as the region braces for a tough season.
