Kia ora Steven,

Thank you for your email of 03 April in which you submitted an Official Information Act request as follows:

I am writing to request all texts, emails, documents, meeting notes and other communication relating to NIWA's Cliflo database dating back to Jan 1 2018.

Please search key words
Cliflo
extreme weather
Ian Wishart - Climate of fear report
Temperature record
New Zealand Climate Science Coalition

MfE mentioned in a 2020 report that longer data records are needed to provide more certainty regarding extreme rainfall events.

Please also provide any all texts, emails, documents, meeting notes and other communication relating to the Our Atmosphere and Climate 2020 report that mention extreme weather records.

I am seeking to understand if the Ministry of Research, Science and Innovation has taken any steps to improve the database since being warned by MfE it is insufficient for accurate projections.

Minister Verrall is considering your request in accordance with the Act, and you can expect a response by 04 May 2023
