New Zealand gets a lot of rainfall in storms but this past few days it’s been particularly notable.

For folks who don’t speak metric, that’s 13 inches in a 24 hour period, and over 16 inches of rainfall in some places over 36 hours. It did cause some flooding!

It’s about as much rain in 36 hours as Los Angeles, Denver, Anchorage, Calgary, or Madrid get in a full year.

But will Frodo and Bilbo be fine, friend? 😅🌧️ (I was there a couple of weeks ago, amazing country).

Well yes, Hobbiton is in the Waikato so they only got 4.5 inches of rain in this storm!

Hahaha. I can sleep peacefully now 😄

Jokes aside, my brother has lived there for years. During our visit, we had a couple of days of heavy rain in Auckland. He told me It is very normal for it to rain very often in autumn and winter.
