	Description:		Much of the North Island is once again flooding amid an absolutely heaving severe downpour. Schools have been evacuated across Auckland and Northland, and emergency services have again been on high alert. This opens fresh wounds for a region that was only recently in the firing line of severe flooding and cyclone Gabrielle. So why has this been happening so much in the same region? Is there a better way to forecast the likelihood of extreme weather? And what does the latest research show about the way we report heavy rainfall? University of Canterbury PHD researcher Cameron McErlich joins Damien to explain his findings on how we can become better at predicting heavy rainfall.
