Dr Sarb Johal​ was driving his daughters home in Wellington when floodwaters surged almost to “door-handle height”.

It was Saturday morning, he says, and they were returning from a music lesson. Deceptively, the rain had eased off at the start of that lesson. Then, just as they left Miramar, it picked up again.

By the time they reached Lyall Bay’s Onepu Rd, the window wipers worked overtime against sheets of rain. Even the side streets, Johal remembers, were like small streams in flood.

At the Lyall Bay Parade-Onepu Rd intersection, the water was at its deepest; impassable. Realising it wouldn’t be safe to continue, he kicked the car into reverse, and eventually managed to get to higher ground.

“It was pretty nasty – the girls were pretty scared in the back,” he said.

“When the water comes down hard, it tends to collect in that area [the Lyall Bay intersection]. Even so, I’ve never seen it gather this quickly before.”

MetService meteorologist Jessie Owen​ called Saturday’s unusually intense rainfall “a localised phenomenon”.

Twenty-five millimetres of rain were recorded at the airport between 10am and 11am – the hour during which Johal drove home.

For context, 6mm of rain in an hour was considered heavy, Owen explained. This wasn’t a widespread event, where the whole city received rain all at once – rather there were “pockets of heavy rain” within bands of showers that drifted over the city.

Johal called the flash flood “a scary glimpse” at an uncertain future for the capital’s lower-lying areas.

“It’s the reality we’re having to deal with: warm air carrying a lot more moisture, and falling in a much shorter period of time.”

To one resident, who lives near the Lyall Bay Parade-Onepu Rd intersection, the flood is a frustrating peek at present-day inaction.
