Seems like it's died out now.
However the one or 2 odd unstable cloud around but that seems to be weakoning.

A very low based and dark cloud has developed over New Brighton, still blowing NE.

Not sure that one will make it to town, but I’d love to be wrong!

Zap za went my radio then it has just died. The recycled cell that developed where the dying one came from just died.

Still looking rather castellanussy down here but lotsa layered cloud as well in the midrange.

Been watching a number of lightening flashes to the NE

Richard · Unread post by **Richard** » Thu 18/01/2018 21:43

Still seeing the odd flash, not often we get lightning this late in the evening

Interesting purple hue in the clouds over our worksite. Seen from Ashfield Rd, Wairau Valley. Time around 2050 hours.

Got the kids out of bed and drove 15 minutes out to the waimak side of kirwee and parked up with a great view of that oxford storm. Saw several forked lightnings across sky. Constant rumblings and a few louder peals of thunder. Kids super excited.

Richard, the lightning not showing up on the tracker would indicate it was IC.

The Canterbury plains tend to be capped in these warm air La Nina thunder set ups. So convection coming off the foothills will fizzle unless it can become elevated above the cap.

Only a couple of CGs and IC lightning discharges recorded last night on the earth networks detectors, but I find it often misses a lot still.

Time stamp on this is 9.10pm.

Hot today with 29.1 here and 29.6 at Tim’s. Looks like the airport maxed out at 28.0 though.

Richard · Unread post by **Richard** » Sat 20/01/2018 18:47

Just sneaked over the 30deg mark after been around the 29deg mark for a couple of hours

Hopefully a bit cooler up that way on Saturday- running the St James Station 100km ultra

How'd the run go Razor?
Looks like it was a warm one.
