How to read this
  • Not an official service. NBRI’s warnings are passed on as issued.
  • Rain levels compare each division with its own satellite record since 2000. Satellites can miss heavy local downpours.
  • Gauge sources: Department of Meteorology and Irrigation Department gauge readings, passed on as published. Met gauge sites are approximate. Compared with each division's own satellite record since 2000. This is not a warning and does not replace NBRI's levels. Satellites can miss heavy local downpours, so it never means a road is safe. Satellite data up to 10 Nov, 08:30. Checked Tue 10 Nov, 14:20.
