Seems to be the usual situation over Auckland currently, once the cells move off the sea they weaken rapidly. Only saw 3 or 4 distant lightning flashes from here over the course of about 20 mins, intermittent rain showers

Had a clear view of that one from my house not far away, with big crack of thunder almost immediately. Amazing storm, that one. A flash every 3-4 seconds!

Impressive pressure spike over Auckland earlier today, not sure I've seen anything like this before:

12.55pm - 999.8 hPa
1.00pm - 996.8 hPa
1.05pm - 999.0 hPa

That's a 3 hPa dip over 5 minutes, with no associated rain or wind activity at the time :-k
