Sparking as she continues transition on the 8pm sat pic. A few ships doing it tough in 55 knots at the moment. Rainfall totals increasing on EC00z in the upper North Island tomorrow night as the frontal trough pushes in.

Very nice to feel the wind change whilst fielding in social cricket.

The rain is painfully close to the city (Invercargill), must be missing by 5-10km east for the past hour and a bit.

Well the system has certainly dragged down some warm air. Overnight low of 21.9C in Howick with a gusty NE.

Even down here our low was 21

It's been messy ET but looks like 1 centre is now consolidating at 40s, 166e @970 hPa and deepening. High tide and strong northerlies starting to close Auckland's notorious flood spots. I clocked a 71 km/h with the hand held on the morning stroll, which is more than I was expecting.... must be getting wild on the SI west coast.

103km gust at 6am south taranaki. Gusts are consistently 70-90kmh

What direction winds were these Chris

Richard · Unread post by **Richard** » Thu 01/02/2018 11:35

Going by that video its a NNE running down the coastline, that may explain why the winds not overly bad this side

Razor · Unread post by **Razor** » Thu 01/02/2018 11:49

Its been fairly jolly blustery in central ChCh- Port Hills almost invisible from here due to dust

Absolutely pouring down here in Geraldine.
Some rain overnight but the real stuff didn't start until 10am.
