THE STORM
Thin, and said to be thin. A trough crosses central New Zealand with rain and high-country snow. Reached through desks rather than the national service directly and marked thin for that reason: no threshold figure was retrieved this run, so none is printed .

SOURCES — CARRIED and not re-anchored this run: Bangladesh's FFWC river risk, which would not refresh; the Chinese south-west and north-west rain, where CMA and NMC pages were WAF and CAPTCHA gated and aggregator relay returned year-mixing content naming older storms that could not be verified against a primary service and was SCREENED OUT; and MetService New Zealand's central-NZ trough with rain and snow warnings, reached only through an RNZ relay and marked thin. KMA is tracking Dujuan as its No. 25; the Bureau of Meteorology reads quiet in austral spring. ESTOFEX remains offline, so the European convective anchor is absent again this run. · MetService New Zealand (reported) · MetService New Zealand (reported), Sep 16 2026 · MetService New Zealand via 1News · MetService New Zealand via RNZ, the Otago Daily Times and the NZ Herald, Sep 15 2026 (reported) · MetService New Zealand via desks, Sep 20 2026 (reported and THIN): a trough crosses central New Zealand with rain and high-country snow; no threshold figure was retrieved this run.
