airflows prevail
and sea breezes occasionally occur along the coast during summer.
The mountain and ranges have a strong influence on rainfall in the area by attracting
orographic type events which are often associated with frontal systems and depressions
moving through the Tasman Sea. Annual rainfall on the upper slopes of the northern
Egmont National Park ranges from 1500 to 5000mm.
Although the annual totals are quite high, the way in which rainfall is delivered is more
significant. Also

Issue 3: Addressing climate change
As the impacts of climate change
intensify, we are considering how
we can best support climate
action in Taranaki.
What the issue is
Climate change will have wide-ranging impacts on
Taranaki. Temperature is expected to increase by
between 0.5°C and 1.5°C by 2040, while rainfall will

4. Results
From 1 November 2012 to 27 March 2013 a total of 13 samples were collected at each
site for the purpose of state of the environment monitoring (SEM). Whenever possible,
no SEM sampling was undertaken within three days following significant river
freshes. However, occasionally sampling was affected by localized rainfall and
