The other five are the Northen Hill Country, Pātea Catchment, Volcanic Ring Plain, Waitara Catchment and Southern Hill Country. The Council is proposing to divide the region into those six FMUs to allow development of purpose-designed solutions for these areas.

Mean river flows for November were 26.6% lower than typical values while mean river (non-mountain) water temperatures were 14.7°C, an average of 0.2°C cooler than a typical November. Average wind speeds were 17.7km/hr, with average gust strength of 47.4km/hr. The maximum wind gust recorded in November was 93.2km/hr at Waitotara at Ngutuwera - the windiest spot in the region for the third month in a row. November 2023 Environmental Data Report November
