Hearing constant rumbling of thunder now! Neighbour has gotten his dogs inside now. (he never does this)
Beautiful clouds with the sunlight and the sun reflecting on the harbour water.

You wouldn't rule out an isolated gust of 70kts with these storms.

Re: Unstable squally western NZ 11-12th July
The strike rate is dropping fast now the sun has set! unfortunate timing!
Re: Unstable squally western NZ 11-12th July
It just passed south of us. Got some nice lightning on tape! Constant rumbling of thunder.
Too bad for the timing would have been nice if it was dark!

Re: Unstable squally western NZ 11-12th July
66 knots here
the main cell passed just to the south of me by 2 km
was real black base to it
would not suprise me if there was a tornado with it....I reckon I could just make out a funnel cloud at the back edge
and the rain radar suggets a bit or rotation/hook...
great lighting show, could see bolts...was mainly in the cloud and in the rain though
