The wider 20-23 forecast for a buildup to 23 January was finally justiified. Plenty of action in many forecast locations including the widely felt Opotiki 5.0
World weather during the 3 day period was also extreme. New Zealand got a blasting, drenching and big summer snow.
Solar magnetic forces power up tectonic and atmospheric conditions.
Conditions look to be easing off slowly over next four days.
