MetService Severe weather: June 30th.

KEY POINTS * Snow falls on hills surrounding Wellington after 'intense' hail storm* Snow blankets South Island, thunderstorm risk growing* More than 20 flights cancelled in and out of Wellington Airport* Major highways in central North Island closed including the Desert Rd and State Highway 4 from Tohunga Junction to National Park* MetService issues threat of damaging waves to the country's entire coastline

Light snow is now falling across Wellington down to sea level as coastal residents are on notice to leave with just a moment's warning ahead of large swells set to hit after dark.

Sea level snow is now drifting across the carpark of Greta Point's Wellington campus, with flurries peppering suburbs from Karori through to Broadmeadows as the bitterly-cold polar blast lashes the bottom half of the North Island.

An ice-laced wind straight off the southern continent is sending temperatures in the capital plunging below zero.

Snow has also been falling in Taranaki this morning and the Desert Rd remains closed, made impassable by the stormy weather. Snow has also started falling on the Napier-Taupo highway.

The capital's regional emergency management office this morning updated it heavy swell warning with a stern message for people to avoid the shoreline where possible.

It said it was currently monitoring the situation and making preparations for the expected impacts this evening.

In a Facebook post it says from 9pm the swells will be at their heaviest.

MetService has forecast powerful swells up to 8 m high will pound the capital coastline today.

For those living on Wellington's south coast and south and east Wairarapa coast people are advised to have grab bag to leave at short notice and an alternate place to stay away from the danger.

While large waves were expected in the inner harbour area along the Petone and Eastbourne coastlines it said the impacts were not expected to be as significant as that for the South Coast.

Civil defence reiterated a warning to stay out of the water after two kayakers feared missing in Wellington harbour were found 22km away after a search was mounted in mountainous seas off Wellington's south coast.

An extensive hunt on sea, land and air was earlier launched for the two men who had been seen in trouble off Wellington's coast at Seatoun.

The pair were found safe in Petone.

Search efforts police walking along the shoreline while the Police Maritime Unit, Coastguard and a rescue helicopter looked for the duo on the water and in the air.

"Police urge people to avoid or delay any unnecessary outdoor activities given the severe weather conditions in Wellington at the moment," said a spokesperson.

"Conditions are dangerous on the water and on the roads due to high winds, and we urge people to take precautions and keep safe."

It comes as the Antarctic blast that swept up the South Island, bringing freezing temperatures, dumping snow and grounding Air New Zealand flights, moves over the North Island and temperatures drop below zero.

With snow blanketing much of the south, leaving numerous highways closed and even falling to sea level in Christchurch overnight, the focus is now on the north, which is feeling the brunt of the polar air.

Icy showers and sleet are now hitting upper slopes of Wellington with snow expected on the capital's eastern hills and the Remutaka and Orongorongo Ranges across the rest of the day.

MetService says while the temperature is registering at 4.3C with wind chill it feels like -2C.

Twenty-five flights have been cancelled in and out of Wellington Airport as stormy weather bears down.

"Moa Point road is currently experiencing some surface flooding and other local roads are also likely to be impacted by the weather," a spokesperson said.

"We are working with Wellington Regional Emergency Management Office to keep an eye on developments and are regularly inspecting our runway and seawalls to ensure they are not damaged.We are advising travellers to contact their airline or keep an eye on Wellington Airport's Live Flight Information for latest updates. We also advise taking extra time and care getting to and from the airport.

"We will provide further updates on our social media pages."

Heavy snowfall warnings are in place for regions across the lower half of the North Island, with Wellington already experiencing hail storms earlier this morning. Wellington City Council said a Johnsonville bus became stuck due to ice just after 6.30am.

At 7.40am the main shock of the freezing polar blast was centred halfway up the North Island, according to weatherwatch.co.nz.

Major highways in the centre of the North Island are now closed by heavy snow including the Desert Rd and State Highway 4 from Tohunga Junction to National Park. Those travelling on State Highway 5 between Napier and Taupo have been warned of treacherous driving conditions, but at this stage the road is open.

Snow has even started falling in Taranaki, with Stratford getting a rare dusting this morning.

Forecaster Angus Hines said snow was falling in the region, and more would come in the next hour. He said it was "pretty unusual" for this part of the North Island to get a coating.

As the mercury continued to drop, MetService has also issued a threat of damaging waves to the country's entire coastline.

MetService forecaster Gerard Bellam said they were very large, high-energy waves that posed a threat to any seaboard location over the coming 24 hours.

These powerful waves had the potential to catch people unawares if walking on beaches or driving along coastal roads. There was also the potential for waves to affect land or property near any coastline.

A heavy swell warning is in force for Wellington's south coast from Baring Head to Sinclair Head.

The southerly swell was expected to reach 6m on Tuesday evening, with the highest risk period coinciding with high tide at 8.24am and 8.54pm.

By Wednesday night the swell is likely to ease to around 4m.

MetService meteorologist Angus Hines warned today's waves could be damaging to low lying properties and roads. People in the area are urged to stay out of the water and be prepared to leave their properties if they are at risk.

The Wellington Region Emergency Management Office said the impact of today's morning high tide could be similar to what was experienced in whiro Bay in April last year when 6m waves battered roads and flooded properties.

The agency said people who lived in homes that had been impacted by past swells and storm events should be prepared for these potential impacts again.

The wild weather has disrupted travel in both islands with the Interislander ferry cancelling all sailings for today, while Air New Zealand cancelled 33 flights in and out of Dunedin, Invercargill and Queenstown yesterday.

The polar blast brought snow to sea level in parts of the south yesterday, as well as huge seas and gales laced with a bitterly cold -20C windchill.

An active cold front and south-to-southwesterly winds will track north across the remainder of the country, with numerous weather warnings in force.

Heavy snow was possible in Taihape, around the Tararua Range and Banks Peninsula today.

A road snowfall warning is in place for the Napier-Taup Rd (until midday Tuesday), Desert Rd (until 5pm Tuesday) and Remutaka Hill Rd (until 4pm Tuesday) in the North Island.

Bellam said snow had fallen to low levels across the Southland and Otago, with blizzard-like conditions in alpine areas.

The polar outbreak had left snow falling down to sea level in Christchurch.

The bitterly cold air mass was now continuing on its northern track, bringing with it severe gales and large seas.

Snow and ice in Queenstown yesterday forced some drivers to carry chains and motorists across the Wakatipu Basin and in Wanaka were urged to watch for rockfall.

Yesterday morning, Treble Cone was coated in 15cm of snow on the upper slopes and Cardrona had received around 10cm.

Moke Lake in Queenstown, the Crown Range Summit and Ben Nevis Range were coated in snow.

Meanwhile, Waka Kotahi has urged motorists driving on SH11/Desert Rd and SH5 Napier- Taup Rd today to prepare for winter driving conditions, including snow and ice.

Waikato system manager Cara Lauder said further road closures were possible and motorists should plan ahead and drive prepared with a spare tire, charged cellphone, blankets, snacks and a bottle of water in case they break down.

"Plan ahead, allow extra time for your journeys and drive to the road and weather conditions. Maintain a greater following distance between your vehicle and the one in front, slow down and be prepared for unexpected hazards."

SH94 Milford Rd and SH87 between Kyeburn and Outram were both closed overnight while in the North Island SH56 between Opiki and the Manawatu River Bridge was closed due to flooding.

Get out the woollies in Wellington today, as snow is forecasted to 300m with the chilly high of 8C and low of 6C while strong southwesterly and gale winds gusting to 90km/h are expected.

In Auckland, a high of 13C and low of 4C is on the cards, with frequent showers in the morning, possibly turning heavy before clearing to fine weather in the afternoon.

The rain clouds would clear by Wednesday but the temperature would stay cool in Auckland, with a high of 14C for the rest of week and lows of between 4C-6C.

The weather is less severe in Whangrei today, with a few showers forecasted before clearing and turning fine.

Meanwhile, as one part of the country is coated in snow, those in Horowhenua are facing the possibility they may run out of water.

The Horowhenua District Council has pleaded for thousands of residents in Levin, Tokomaru and Shannon to reduce or stop using water immediately.

Due to the recent rain, water-treatment plants have struggled to effectively treat the muddy river water for the region's drinking water supplies.

"If residents don't act to reduce water usage or stop completely if they're able, there is a real risk that the water supply will run out and the community will need to rely on bottled water or water tanker supplies to service their minimum requirements," the council said.

The Arctic coastal states of Canada, Denmark (Greenland), Norway, Russia, and the USA as well as the remote fisheries actors Iceland, the EU, Japan, South Korea and, finally, China, haveratified the International Agreement to Prevent Unregulated Fishing in the High Seas of the Central Arctic Ocean.

The Agreement was signed in 2018 and enters into force on 25 June 2021.

I am very pleased that the central Arctic Ocean Agreement is a reality. This clearly states that the agreement parties take seriously the governance of living marine resources located there, Norwegian Fisheries and Seafood Minister Odd Emil Ingebrigtsen says in a ministry press release.

Most of the Arctic Ocean is under the jurisdiction of the coastal states of Canada, Norway, Russia, USA and Greenland/Denmark. At the center of the Arctic Ocean, however, there is an area of international waters.

The said agreement is to prevent unregulated fishing in this high seas areaextending across 2.8 million square kilometers, an area larger than the Mediterranean, the ministry writes. The area is currently covered by ice large parts of the year, and there are no commercial fisheries. If the ice cover is reduced in the coming decades, fishing may become possible.

The Fisheries Minister says the agreement is an internationally unique precaution measure through its solving a problem before it arises.

The agreement period is 16 years, with options for prolonging.

Cork County Council have commissioned a large-scale mural celebrating legendary pirate Anne Bonny on the iconic Stoney Steps in Kinsale.

Following the presentation of the idea to paint the steps by the Kinsale Tourism and Business Association, the Council sought submissions of ideas from the public, from which the theme of Anne Bonny was chosen. The painting was funded through the Bandon Kinsale Municipal District Town Development Fund and artists Splattervan were chosen to undertake the project.

Anne Bonny was born near the Old Head of Kinsale at the end of the 17th Century, and her life is shrouded in mystery, folklore and adventure. Stories survive of defying her fathers wishes, marrying for love, divorcing and taking to the high seas as a pirate at a time when women were considered to be bad luck on board a ship.

At the unveiling of the mural on the steps, Cllr. Kevin Murphy, Chair of Bandon-Kinsale Municipal District, said

The wonderful harbour town of Kinsale has benefited from another beautiful addition through this painting. These steps, favoured by visiting photographers, now boast a mural which will resonate with many locals and visitors to Kinsale today. Legends of Anne Bonny, one of the towns most illustrious expats, resonate with the rebels and adventurers in us all, and the artists have done a remarkable job in bringing this legendary Irish Pirate back to her home on the Wild Atlantic Way.

The deluge of July 26, 2005, still evokes memories of the night long trek from Andheri to Lower Parel on the Western Express Highway wading through neck deep water with carcasses of cattle floating around. It was just a month into the many months that has now become a 16-year long journey, of being a Mumbai resident who fears to step out of the comfort of the four walls each monsoon. Was 2005 my first brush with climate change? Maybe. The deluge might have been a one-off episode but what has slowly but steadily changed in the last two decades is the Arabian Sea which one can smell in Mumbai every morning that could possibly lead to catastrophic security future.

What one possibly ignored was Bandu and Phet in 2010, Keila in 2011, Murjan in 2012, Nanauk and Niolfar in 2014, Ashobaa, Chapala and Megh in 2015, Sagar, Mekunu, Luban in 2018, Vayu, Hikaa and Kyarr in 2019 in the Arabian Sea, till Nisarga made a landfall at the coastal village of Shirvardhan on June 3, 2020. Every agency from the India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicting the course of the cyclone to the relief teams from the National Disaster Response Force, Indian Navy, Coast Guard and state agencies were on alert and deployed to carry out exigencies the cyclone would bring along. The storm of 2020 passed, and once again silence was restored.

Then on May 17, 2021, the unthinkable happened on the Bombay High. The wind speed had increased to 100 kilometers per hour. The tide and swell of the sea was at all time high sea state of 8, which meant that waves were taller than a single storey house. At sea, and literally, were 710 lives. And to rescue them another 1,200 lives were roped in. The Indian Navy in an operation that has no precedent, managed to rescue most of them. But even the valiant Indian Navy could not beat the natures fury which claimed 88 lives on the fateful day.

What is disturbing is not what Cyclone Tauktae, the fifth most powerful cyclone in the Arabian Sea, showed us, but that more Tauktaes are in the offing in the coming years. Studies by climate change experts point to an increase in the frequency of cyclones in the Arabian Sea in the coming decades largely due to the rising temperature of the sea. Rising temperatures couple with a rising sea level potentially points to catastrophic repercussions in the coming future.

Dr Roxy Mathew Koll, climate scientist and IPCC lead author, through his papers has on how tropical cyclones are among the most destructive natural disasters on earth, and how the north Indian Ocean, including the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal, account for 6 per cent of the global tropical cyclones. His papers also point to the rapid intensification of cyclones which could also prove to be a major cause of concern in the future for coastal cities like Mumbai. In fact the scientist had taken to Twitter to post a thread post Tauktae which read With climate change, the storyline has changed for Mumbai and the coastline of India.

Arabian Sea is brewing more intense cyclones than ever. Tauktae was the most intense cyclone (220 km/hr) that came very close to Mumbai. Cyclones drive storm surgeshuge waves (5 m high) that push water onto the land, flooding the coast, wrote Dr Koll. Dr Koll also points out to the sea level rise at a fast pace along the coast of Mumbai at about 3 centimeter per decade, while pointing out the calamitous position that Mumbai was in devoid of its mangroves.

A security threat assessment of global climate change a paper produced by The National Security, Military and Intelligence Panel on Climate Change of the United States of America in 2020 predict that Indian Ocean region will experience devastating sea level rise threatening megacities, infrastructure and population if one was to witness a global average warming at 2-4+C/3.6-7.2+F.

Over long-term projections of severe warming, sea level rise is the most devastating climate threat to the Asia-Pacific region. A one meter rise in sea levels would displace 37 million people in the East Asian and Pacific, and that number would nearly double with a two meter rise. Heavily populated cities along the coast will see huge economic and livelihood losses due to rising seas, including Mumbai, Bangkok, Jakarta, Ho Chi Minh City, and Guangzhou, states the paper. The paper puts 44 million Indians in the climate risk category, 53 million in Bangladesh, 38 million in Vietnam, 26 million in Indonesia and 107 million in China.

Dr Pushp Bajaj, of the National Maritime Foundation, in his June 2020 paper Climate Risks to Indias Holistic Martime Security Part 1: Rising Sea Level points out that the global mean sea level was rising, and that the rate of rise is accelerating. Dr Bajajs paper states that the sea-level rise increased from 1.4mm per year over the period 1901-1990 to 2.1 mm per year between 1970-2015 to 3.2 mm per year to 3.6 mm per year over the period of 2005-2015.

This also poses the need for a sea change in the role Indias maritime security agencies, especially the Indian Navy and the Indian Coast Guard, as security challenges increase from accelerating climate change. While the Indian Navy will be increasingly called out to respond to extreme weather conditions like cyclones and floods, they themselves will be vulnerable to the impacts of the sea level rising. A vast majority of its bases across Mumbai, Goa, Karwar, Kochi and in the islands of Lakshadweep could be under high risk, and any damage to critical infrastructure could seriously hamper the ability to provide effective assistance. This also necessitates state and central government agencies like the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) to create short-term and long-term strategies to mitigate the threat of cyclones and floods in the coming future.

For Mumbai, to mitigate the threat posed by climate change, it would also mean that the civic body and the countless development agencies of the state evolve a strategy that looks to create a buffer zone of mangroves to start with, to an effective and state-of-the-art storm water drainage system, to keep the city from marooning.

Mumbai: The curveball that Cyclone Tauktae has thrown at Mumbai - Free Press Journal

Sea of Thieves Season 3 update shocked fans with the unexpected Disney crossover, A Pirates Life. As players venture into Tall Tale 2, The Sunken Pearl, theres a lot of puzzles and boss fights to overcome, from finding the Black Pearl to defeating The Kraken and taking down the Siren Queen.

After freeing (and then later losing) Jack Sparrow, youll need to venture out into the high seas once more to time discover the fate of the iconic sunken Black Pearl under the Sea of Thieves.

Once there, youll face off against Sirens and Ocean Crawlers as you attempt to solve Siren Spires puzzles to rescue Sparrows crew from whatever fate the game sees them in.

Once youve spoken to The Castaway, board your ship. From there, open your Sunken Pearl quest book before venturing out onto The Sea of Thieves. The last two pages will indicate that the location of the Black Pearl lies to the South-West of the Sea of Thieves game map. More specifically, the ship lies North-West of Shark Bait Cove, and slightly South-West of Old Salts Atoll.

The circled mark on the image above is where you need to head. Its not hard to miss, though a bright blue beacon will shine down on the location as you get closer, music will begin to swell, and theres debris floating in the water.

Now comes the tricky part: diving down into the depths to find her. Once youre under the water, a mysterious Siren song will start. Simply follow these steps:

Before you can progress further in this Sea of Thieves Tall Tale, youll need to unlock Jack Sparrows Captain Quarters on the sunken Black Pearl to retrieve his compass:

Once youve used Jacks compass and followed where its told you to go, youll enter into The Siren Spire. During your time in the Spire, youll have to complete six puzzles, all following the same setup: Therell be four statues holding a trident, with a mural of these statues on the wall.

Simply put, what you need to do is match the actual statues to what theyre doing on the mural. This can be done by either swinging your sword at them up close or firing at them from a distance.

Each statue has three possible positions for its left arm: high, middle, or low. After youve positioned them correctly, youll need to hit the larger statue with the shell.

After battling the Ocean Crawlers or Sirens, the last one will drop a Siren Heart. Look for the statue that is missing the yellow gemstone, and slot it in. Then, align the statues arms as follows:

The other positions for each of the following puzzles are listed below:

The fourth Siren puzzle is slightly different. On your way to the Siren Citadel, youll come across a giant door blocking your way with two large carvings of a Siren.

To progress with this, youll need to place the Sirens Heart into the missing statue as before and then put boths statues arm positions to low. Then, shoot the main statue with the shell, and the door will open.

After spotting the Kraken throughout the zone, youll come face to face with it during your time fighting on the Silver Blade. Having been torn apart and held in place by The Siren Queen and her loyal subjects, youll face off in a not-so-naval battle against Ocean Crawlers.

To reach the Kraken, though, youll need to raise the anchor of the Silver Blade which will pull the ship upwards, defeating enemies with the cannons as you go.

When you reach the third level, youll fight off a horde of Ocean Crawlers on the deck before the Kraken rears its head. Luckily, defeating it is relatively easy:

In the area before reaching the Silver Blade, you have the chance to pick up a key to unlock the Captains quarters, which contains a Chest of Sorrows.

Back in the room with the platforms and pulleys, raise the wooden section of the ship and hop across to the left side of the room. Therell be a carving of a face with an open mouth thats emanating a red light. Head in there, grab the key, and youll be able to unlock the door on the ship.

Once defeating the Kraken, follow these steps:

Thats it! You should now have the commendation, and you can continue on to the last boss battle of the Tall Tale.

Throughout the Sea of Thieves Sunken Pearl Tall Tale, youll come into contact with Sirens. Luckily, whenever they do swim across your path, therell be plenty of tridents around the place to take them down.

The tridents have a regular attack and a charged attack. The longer you hold down the fire button, the wider the range will be. Despite this, firing the trident without the charge seems to be just as effective in the long run.

After sending her minions to do her bidding, and warning you to not proceed further all quest long, the final standoff of The Sunken Pearl is when you finally face the Siren Queen.

Despite a lot of talk, taking her out wont take much. Follow these tips:

So, there you have it. Thats everything you need to know about the Sea of Thieves Tall Tale 2, The Sunken Pearl.

See you out there on the high seas!
