"For many people this summer – especially those across Northland Auckland and
Coromandel – showery days and bursts of heavy rain have become all too
familiar.
This week, fresh downpours on already saturated ground have again triggered
flood warnings and road closures across the upper North Island. These are
individual weather events, but they are unfolding against unusually warm seas
that load the atmosphere with extra moisture and energy.
Understanding ocean heat – and how it shapes rainfall, storms and marine
heatwaves – is central to explaining what we experience on land."
