37mm here, though looks to be easing for while soon - seems to be a hole in the rain band on the radar.

Been some big wind gusts in the CBD too

Heavier rain is back, 43mm and rising

You're way ahead of me so far David, only 28mm here in Grey Lynn

54 mm for me so far, and plenty of moisture still around.

44.5mm so far here, and looks like plenty more to come in the next couple of hours.

Congratulations Metservice for the colouring competition entry. Nearly coloured the whole North Island and only went over the edges a few times

That rain band really weakened last hour or so

I thought the opposite. I feel as tho it is squeezing tighter just off the west coast. For here it looks like we could get a decent drop tonight.

Agreed. Just like the Rakaia when Canterbury had a significant event. It's not like they plan it that way, but I find it difficult to comprehend they have to have it offline that long. Why provision for shorter outages isn't planned, so they can be online in case of a significant event, isn't factored in, it just seems illogical to me.

Ended up with 55mm here. Highest daily total since last July for me

I recorded 39mm only about 10km East of Hamilton Airport. Will have to check the rain gauge for any obstructions as seems a little low.

I was surprised the airport got that high. I was 38mm. The manual gauge had 42mm but that wasn’t dead empty to begin with. Had the weeks of frosts dew built up in it.
