Flood flows on the Buller River were the largest of any river in the country since 1926 after the deluge last month. The stand-out rain event between 15 July and 18 July brought over 690mm of rain to parts of the West Coast in under 72 hours.
Along with the West Coast, well above normal rainfall (more than 149 percent of normal) fell in large areas of Marlborough, Nelson, Tasman, Canterbury high country and northern Otago.
Parts of coastal northern Northland, inland Bay of Plenty and around Wellington central and the Kāpiti Coast had above normal rainfall.

Wild Weather: State of emergency in Marlborough; people rescued off roofs
Wild Weather: State of emergency in Marlborough; people rescued off roofs Sat, 17 Jul 2021, 10:51AM
Three motorists have been rescued from their cars after being trapped by floodwaters as wild weather batters the South Island - and causes disruptions in Auckland and Wellington.
A front-loader and a helicopter were called to rescue people stranded on the roofs of their vehicles, a Fire and Emergency spokesperson said.
A state of emergency was also declared in Marlborough by deputy mayor Nadine Taylor at 12.20pm.
The Marlborough District Council has advised residents of the Lower Terrace in Renwick to evacuate their properties and stay with family or friends for the next 24 hours, as the stop bank at Conders Bend is beginning to overtop.
