Taranaki’s temperature trends. Sunshine hours and wind speeds in North Taranaki have increased, while winter rainfall has decreased and severe weather events have become fewer and less intense. South Taranaki has seen an increase in spring rainfall. The Committee was told that the Resource Management Act explicitly excludes the Council from climate change regulation, but future likely consequences, particularly for rainfall, are being factored into plans and projects, most notably the recent upgrades to

There are climate change impacts to consider in relation to this item. Technical advice from the Science team indicates there is likely to be a decrease in the mean annual low flow of most rivers and streams in the region by 2050, with large decreases likely by 2100. Total yearly rainfall is expected to remain roughly the same, but the region is expected to get longer dry periods and heavier, more intense rainfall events. 36.
