Query Auckland Council rainfall gauges and river or stream levels and flows. Use for Auckland monitoring sites, observed rainfall or water-level time series, and latest rainfall with spatial filters.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Auckland rainfall and rivers

Use the stdlib Python CLI in `scripts/cli.py` to query Auckland Council's
Environment Auckland AQUARIUS WebPortal. Site discovery and JSON exports work
without a login, API key, cookies or browser.

## Workflow

1. Find gauges with `sites`, selecting rainfall, river/stream level or flow.
2. Copy the site's `site` identifier into `series` and choose a date window.
3. Use `latest` for each rainfall gauge's most recent non-null increment within
   the last 72 hours. Inspect observation time, age and quality before using it.

```bash
python3 skills/akl-rainfall/scripts/cli.py sites --parameter rainfall --json
python3 skills/akl-rainfall/scripts/cli.py sites --parameter level --bbox '174.8,-37.1,175.0,-36.9' --format geojson --json
python3 skills/akl-rainfall/scripts/cli.py series --site 649940 --parameter rainfall --from 2026-10-07 --to 2026-10-08 --interval hour --json
python3 skills/akl-rainfall/scripts/cli.py series --site 43803 --parameter level --from 2026-10-07 --to 2026-10-08 --json
python3 skills/akl-rainfall/scripts/cli.py series --site 43803 --parameter flow --from 2026-10-07 --to 2026-10-08 --interval day --json

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add thecolab-ai/.skills/akl-rainfall@sha256:82ccfa411fe9b5ef

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.bd95bd6, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
