RAIN NEEDED: Dry hills in Ngatapa will get much-needed rain if MetService's forecast is correct. Pictures by Liam Clayton
Farmers in areas still affected by the dry autumn could have their prayers answered with rain forecast between now and Thursday.
The likes of these hills at Ngatapa and a pond at Eastwoodhill Aboretum (both pictues shown in the gallery above) are crying out for decent rain and those pleas
could be heard.
MetService's seven-day forecast features occasional showers today, more showers tomorrow and Monday, showers turning to rain on Tuesday and rain easing to showers on Wednesday.
Ngatapa has received 10mm of rain in the past 24 hours — 15mm in the past week.
A Ngatapa farmer told The Gisborne Herald farmers hoped for a minimum of 40mm but ideally around 100mm . . . “just not all at once.”
