Greater than 50% of sites have accumulations within the lowest 10th percentile of readings for the time of year - 0.4 points.Īn example is a worst case scenario: three or more consecutive months of below normal rainfall (2 points), most soil moisture sites in the lowest 10th percentile (0.6 points) and most sites with rainfall accumulations for the current hydrological year in the lowest 10th percentile (0.4 points).

Greater than 50% of sites have accumulations below the median level for the time of year but not within the lowest 10th percentile of readings - 0.2 points.

Greater than 50% of sites have levels below field capacity and within the lowest 10th percentile of readings for the time of year - 0.6 points.

Greater than 50% of sites have levels below field capacity and below the median level for the time of year but not within the lowest 10th percentile of readings - 0.3 points.

Greater than 50% of sites have below normal rainfall in the current month and prior three consecutive months - 2 points (an automatic jump to "drought warning").

Greater than 50% of sites have below normal rainfall in the current month and prior two consecutive months - 1 point (an automatic jump to "drought watch").

Greater than 50% of sites have below normal rainfall in the current and in the past month - 0.3 points.The following scoring is used for the criteria: It largely determines in which sector the status line lies, while soil moisture and rainfall accumulations determine how far it extends into a sector.Įach sector of the gauge has a value equal to one so the greatest total that can be scored is three. The scoring is weighted heavily to the months of below normal rainfall.

It doesn't include PET accumulations in the scoring. <80% of the long term average), the numbers of climate sites with soil moisture levels below median levels and the number of sites with below average rainfall accumulations. The status is determined by a scoring system that considers the number of sites area-wide with consecutive months of below normal rainfall (i.e. Porangahau Area - Porangahau Catchments.Coastal Area - Coastal, Waimarama and Maraetotara Catchments.Ngaruroro Area - Ngaruroro, Pacific and Clive Catchments.Tutaekuri Area - Tutaekuri and Ahuriri Lagoon Catchments.Tangoio Area - Tangoio, Pacific, Te Ngaru, Wakari, Aropoanui and Esk Catchments.Wairoa Area - Wairoa, Waihua, Potua, Nuhaka, Whakaki and Mahia Catchments.The areas are based on the region's main catchments or a combination of catchments. The black line on the gauge indicates the status of conditions in the area of interest. How the status of conditions is determined.
