Right now.
What the city is doing this hour: every public report, warning, shutoff and river reading as it lands. The live face of the record; everything here updates itself.

In the last few days
The rivers change in the last hour
Gauge readings from Environment Canterbury, updated every few minutes. Heights are relative to each gauge’s own datum, so only the movement is shown. Not a flood warning.
