Yes, Ricky, it's got it in the wrong place. I'll tweak the segmented ranging using today's data.
The sferics were quite strong and the way the Boltek was picking up strikes in rapid bursts made me suspicious. I've only noticed these bursts with the recent close storms.
Also, I'd expect your tracker to pick up some strikes for a storm over Nelson.

Todays chase
Strange out there at the moment it's clearing out to the west but very grey in the east with rain here a few heavy bursts at times with sporadic drops of rain.
Although me,Aaron, and Steve didn't see or hear any thunder or lightning we still got to see some nice clouds check these out below.
Cheers

ricky, you are getting lots of cloud to cloud strikes, yes?
i.e must be due to alot of wind shear.....i.e becuase of the 60 knot jet stream overhead...
as the rain radar is not showing much where the lighning is in the hauraki gulf
but there is very heavy rain in the outer hauraki gulf now,( well, North of great barrier island) moving south

Great stuff guy's! At the moment I unfortunatley can't see storms on the horizon for a while.
Some nice heavy falls at times this morning but always stopping for long breaks. Wind isn't strong at all, gentle breeze. Some nice dark bases out there, pitty they won't do anything! Although if they do, horaay!

Funny, when I was was cutting out the weather map for Sunday (from Monday's Press) to put in my weather diary, I opened the diary to mid August. The msl map for this last Sunday was very similar to the maps for the mid August southerly storm which brought snow to Canterbury and the severe southerly winds and rain in Wellington and Wairarapa.
