Tomorrow, New Zealanders vote. My first cousin, Dr Ayesha Verrall, is contesting Wellington North in a tight race with the Green candidate. She’s Labour’s Health spokesperson, fighting for affordable health care. Labour will also recognise Palestine and support South Africa’s ICJ case on alleged breaches of the Genocide Convention. @drayeshaverrall

Normal rain fall for October in Malé: Monthly total: 205 - 230mm average, some climatologies put it up to 301mm. Rainy days: 11-16 days in the month. That works out to ∼7.5mm per day, or ∼13.4mm per rainy day. What we're seeing now: Yesterday/today (Oct 21): ∼26.8mm total. Tonight/Tomorrow (Oct 22): ∼31.5mm forecast. Oct 23-25: 10-19mm per day. So we're getting 2-3x the normal daily amount on consecutive days. If this pattern holds for the week, Malé could get 100mm+ in 5 days, which is nearly half the whole month's normal in less than a week. Climate Change means we will get more rain in a short period of time.
