  • Errata and Updated Statistics for the 2014 Annual Climate Summary Issued
    Errata and updated statistics for the 2014 Annual Climate Summary Issued: 16 April 2015 Every year, an annual climate summary and a table of annual statistics are provided by NIWA, usually within the first two weeks of January. This summary is based on data available at the time, and often includes preliminary (real-time) annual climate statistics which are as yet not fully quality checked. Each year during April, the annual statistics from the calendar year prior are updated, including both automated and manual climate station data. The purpose of the update is two-fold; to enable manual climate data to be incorporated, since manual stations typically take 1-2 months for data to be received and entered into the National Climate Database; and to log errata found in subsequent quality checks performed in the National Climate Database, or site visits undertaken in January and February. This update is for the 2014 annual climate summary. This update was based on available data as at 1 April 2015. Errata and notes 1. Following the update of station data contained within the Water Resources Archive, the rankings for wettest sites in New Zealand for 2014 have changed. The wettest four locations are now: Cropp River at Waterfall (11866 mm), Tuke River at Tuke Hut (10728 mm), Cropp River at Cropp Hut (10655 mm), and Haast River at Cron Creek (8239 mm). 2. Offshore and outlying island stations were not included in this update. 3. Some sites have missing days of data. The number of missing days is indicated by a superscript number next to the annual value in the tables below.
