michael, they don't have a moderator over there, so go for it.aussie record breaking forum
Good layer of stratocu here now. Midday sounding shows a whopping temperature inversion over us. It will be interesting to see what comes of that weak trough tomorrow. I can't see it coming to much but Met Service are predicting late showers inland.

Ahh yes, there it goes! I thought it would've likely to of been on the warnings page but it wasn't there this morning. Who cares, it is now!
Look at the spicy ingrediants to chose from:
MetService uses the following criteria for severe thunderstorms in New Zealand:
* Heavy rain (from thunderstorms): Rainfall of 25 millimetres per hour, or more.
* Large hail: Hailstones 20 millimetres in diameter, or larger.
* Strong wind gusts (from thunderstorms): Gusts of 110 kilometres per hour (60 knots) or stronger.
* Damaging tornadoes: Fujita F1 (wind speeds greater than 116 kilometres per hour (63 knots)) or stronger.

I find that this month is going to be quite anticyclonic (as I made in earlier predictions....and i hope I'm wrong?) so it might be a while before we can test MetServic'es predictions and have a good ' mother of' thunderstorms to really test Steven and Ricky's Boltex lightning recorders.
Maybe next month ...or Jan or Feb or March
....even nexy year???

UNISYS long-range 9 day outlook looks relatively anticyclonic for NZ, with only a weak southerly for later in the period.I find that this month is going to be quite anticyclonic (as I made in earlier predictions....and i hope I'm wrong?) so it might be a while before we can test MetServic'es predictions and have a good ' mother of' thunderstorms to really test Steven and Ricky's Boltex lightning recorders.
