Cheers Geoff. That's all fairly typical of the west coast of good ol NZ isn't it? Apart from the rail bridge which is a bit of a worry, most looked like a normal rainy day. Punakaiki always spectacular in a storm surge.

[@neillstephenson5482]

Yep S.I West Coast weather, standard.

[@geoffmackley]

Always good

[@iancanuckistan2244]

The train trestle is definitely out of service until the broken underpinnings are repaired.

[@tonymckeage1028]

Great Video Geoff, thanks for sharing

[@waterbourne9282]

That Otira Gorge, just the coolest engineered road to drive in NZ.

[@richardfoot]

I must admit I was tempted to go over to do some filming myself, thanks for sharing

[@lancegoodall5911]

Filming of what - this is the Wet Coast 😅

[@lesleywallace5748]

Wow well put together from south canterbury to the coast thank you

[@geoffmackley]

Cheers thanks

[@GeoffSeeley]

Just a wee bit of water eh? Here on the "wet"/west coast of Canada, they are already talking drought for the summer.

[@brettmorton7365]

Ah, the West Coast, where it only rains twice a week.. first for three days, then for four...

[@boatboy222]

And the droughts last for 20 minutes!

[@motleydude73]

Yet has over 2200 sunshine hours a year. Stop believing myths.

[@brettmorton7365]

@@motleydude73 true, which is about half of all daylight hours. Gotta say I've seen it rain while the sun shines over there 😂😂 but seriously it is a beautiful part of the world

[@drafty0183]

Can just about feel that sea spray.

[@mattyb7736]

Thats why its called the Wet Coast, its not raining until you cant see the road edge from the bar windows at the Recreation Hotel in Greymouth 😂

[@geoffmackley]

:-)

[@anthonyclayden7717]

Thanks Geoff, but please keep safe. We don’t want to hear you’ve been washed away!

[@geoffmackley]

Thanks

[@kaitlynlsari681]

Looks like rain on the west coast, well that's a novelty😂

[@David-er7eg]

[@antjetautkus5506]

[@firebrick]

Watching this while our country the Philippines is suffering now from extreme drouth, heat wave.😢

[@russcrawford3310]

Wow ... Yosemite-level waterfall there at the end ...

[@drafty0183]

The rainfall on the west coast of New Zealands South Island is epic already. Like, about 9000mm (15 feet) per year.

[@russcrawford3310]

@@drafty0183 - We only get ten feet per year here in Oregon ... rains every day all day long ...

[@Sharon-yk7xm]

[@Farque007]

Nature doing its thing. Just dont ask greta

[@stuartferguson7947]

Was there 3 weeks ago - wow it wasn’t like this

[@nealrcn]

It looked like an all natural torture system.

[@aquariussoda007]

Very powerful .

[@boatboy222]

What? Raining? On the west coast? Rains more in Mackay Queensland!😂

Мост играет в прятки?

Jeez where’s that

[@AORD72]

NZ west coast, normal weather.

1.21 - this is, actually, from a different video, which was filmed in India... come on, man...

[@geoffmackley]

India you say ? Come on man, did you go to the You Tube school of geography ?, it's the Rangitata River, South Canterbury, South Island, NEW ZEALAND ....

Nova Zelândia é pequena e possui mais belezas naturais do que todo o Brasil.

[@daphnekivinen9482]

God's beauty but dangerous times.

[@nicholasmaude6906]

1:29 - Nice artificial waterfall, I'm glad I don't live on the West Coast.

[@ken440]

used to drive under it coming down the rock. That shute has tamed it. Was always good for a quick car wash.

[@nicholasmaude6906]

@@ken440 So instead of a Mexican carwash a West Coast carwash😉😁?

Just a random selection of rain shots…scary…not!

[@Chris.Davies]

25 stomach-churning frames per second! In 2024!

[@gottabesometime6632]

Unnerving with sirens going off, but let's be real, the west coast of the south island can be NASTY at times, this is yet another example of MOTHER NATURES, ...gonna test the HEARTY STRONG AND RESILIENT PEOPLE of NZ.
