My mate operates the tallest tower crane in auckland, worked through that thunderstorm today, said it was quite a ride saw a few good strikes on city buildings. Some solid downpours still around the shore, lots of planes asking auckland air traffic control for weather deviations -but that's nothing unusual.

I drove out to Waimauku about 4.30pm, around Whenuapai through to Kumeu was probably the heaviest rain I've ever driven in. Crazy heavy. The rain gauge at home in Ranui had 60mm since 6pm last night.

Has been a mostly dry day here so far but there are a few Cbs around, an isolated storm near the Auckland west coast

Sunny here now. No thunder in the near future by the look at it.
