Kiwis Return From Assisting With The New South Wales Floods
Press Release – Fire and Emergency New Zealand
The contingent of four Community Liaison Officers and two Jurisdiction Liaison have been operating mainly in the flood-hit areas of Taree and Port Macquarie.
Fire and Emergency New Zealand has welcomed back its specialist team from their deployment to New South Wales.
The contingent of four Community Liaison Officers and two Jurisdiction Liaison have been operating mainly in the flood-hit areas of Taree and Port Macquarie.
Deputy National Commander Brendan Nally says he is proud of the efforts of the team who were faced with significant devastation caused by the floods.
'At the request of the New South Wales State Emergency Service, our people were tasked with supporting Australian emergency services and communities affected by the flooding,' he says.
'This involved going from door to door in the affected communities, speaking with homeowners, answering their questions, addressing their concerns about the damages from the flooding, and ensuring they knew how to access help.
'The willingness of our people to lend their skills to our close neighbours in their time of need is greatly appreciated.
'They bring home with them new experiences and knowledge that will benefit the communities of Aotearoa New Zealand when we're faced with our own severe weather events.'

Australia, Pacific rocked by ocean heatwaves last year
Ocean temperatures in the south-west Pacific reached fresh highs last year as heatwaves struck more than 10% of the world's marine waters. Long stints of extreme ocean heat were experienced by nearly 40 million square kilometres of the region in 2024, including the waters surrounding Australia, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has revealed. WMO secretary-general Celeste Saulo said ocean heat and acidification were together inflicting long-lasting damage on marine ecosystems and economies "It is increasingly evident that we are fast running out of time to turn the tide," she said. High ocean temperatures have been wreaking havoc on heat-sensitive coral reefs worldwide, with Australian authorities reporting the sixth mass bleaching event at the Great Barrier Reef in less than a decade. ADVERTISEMENT Warming on land was also higher than it had ever been last year, with Thursday's report from the United Nations weather and climate agency identifying temperatures roughly 0.48°C above the 1991–2020 average across the region. Heatwaves were particularly acute in Western Australia, with the coastal town of Carnarvon reaching 49.9°C in February and breaking existing temperature records by more than two degrees. The south-west Pacific assessment aligns with global temperature records being consistently broken as concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere reach fresh highs. Last year was the hottest on record and the first to surpass 1.5°C warmer than pre-industrial times, the benchmark temperature under the Paris climate agreement. The global pact has not yet been breached as it refers to long-term trends but more warming is expected, with a separate WMO report predicting a 70% chance the average temperature over the next five years will exceed 1.5 degrees. The WMO regional report pre-dated Cyclone Alfred and the devastating flooding events Australia experienced in the first half of 2025, but captured above-average rainfall for the northern states last year. A sea level rise in the Pacific region that exceeds global averages was also recorded, threatening island communities living near the coast. ADVERTISEMENT Elsewhere in the region, Indonesia's glacier ice degraded 30-50% compared to 2022. If melting continues at the same rate, the ice is on track to disappear entirely by 2026 or soon after. The Philippines was struck by twice as many cyclones as normal, with 12 storms hitting the country between September and November. Climate patterns also influenced the year's weather events, including El Nino conditions at the start of 2024 in the tropical Pacific Ocean that weakened to neutral conditions by the middle of the year. Head of the federal Climate Change Authority Matt Kean said there was still "time to arrest this direction of travel to a hothouse destination" at an event in Sydney on Wednesday. "First, we should ignore the doubters whose main mission seems to be to prolong the life of fossil fuel industries," he said while delivering the Talbot Oration at the Australian Museum.

‘Intense storm' on sun prompting aurora activity
Another aurora is visible over Hoopers Inlet, on Otago Peninsula, on Sunday night. Photo: Brendon Williamson As Otago's skies light up with spectacular auroral displays again, the question has been asked — are we seeing more aurora activity than ever before? Dunedin Astronomical Society life member Ash Pennell said he had been watching the night skies above the city for about 60 years, and the answer was "yes, and no". The 74-year-old believed the aurora appearing at the moment were "right up there" in terms of brilliance, but in terms of frequency, they had not increased over the past 150 years. He said the sun was at the solar maximum of its 11-year activity sequence at the moment. "Last year, if you remember, we had a couple of magnificent nights, something terrifically brilliant. "What's happened on this occasion is there's been a massive area of sunspots, solar activity — basically, storms on the sun — and that sequence has continued." He said the sun rotated every 28 days and the sunspots had been around for about three rotations. "And they look like they're going to continue for a while I think, which is rare. "They normally fade out — they go around the back of the sun and they sort of disappear. "So there's been an intense storm up there, and the sun has ejected a lot of plasma out in our direction, hence what we've been looking at the last couple of nights." He said the coronal mass ejections sent charged particles toward Earth, which interacted with the atmosphere near the North and South poles, causing them to glow and create the beautiful light displays we were seeing. While the recent displays had been spectacular, they were not the most spectacular he had seen. "The last one in 2014 wasn't so good, but the one in 2003, we had some very fine auroras back then, and the 11 years before then, too. "So it's not new, this amount of activity." In October 1927, the Otago Daily Times reported an "entrancing" aurora off the coast of Dunedin, which had a major effect on technology of the time. "The effect of the phenomenon on local wireless sets on Saturday and Sunday evenings was very noticeable," the article said. "Various owners of sets reported that it was utterly impossible to get in contact with Australian stations, and even the strong station at Wellington could not be heard." Mr Pennell said there was a solar cycle back in the mid-1860s where the coronal mass ejections disintegrated telegraph wires in parts of the northern and southern hemispheres. "That's how strong it was. Back then, that would have been really spectacular. "If we got an event that strong now, a lot of our satellites would be toast." He believed the surge in aurora images had been created by a growing number of people using smartphones to take photos of the light shows, which were being posted on social media. Dunedin astronomer Dr Ian Griffin agreed. "People have got better camera phones and better cameras, so more people are going out and basically being able to photograph the aurora. "Ash is absolutely right — you could see auroras with the naked eye back in the day. "But I do think with websites like the Aurora Australis Facebook group, which has got nearly 120,000 members, social media is really playing a role, too." Mr Pennell said the meteorological weather had also played a major part. "We've had quite a run of clear nights, so people do see these things. "They're normally hidden by cloud."
