I just happened to catch those mamatus at their best looking....was sitting having lunch, with some Irish visitors (only 3 days in NZ), and I pointed them out to them...they said they have never seen anything like that before....obviously they dont get very strong thunderstorm/CB development like we can here!

been a showery old day here had 10mm a frequent period of heavy showers this afternoon and wouldn't u know it the south westerly is back again stong aswell here in the kaipara chilled off a bit sitting on 12c baro rising a lil now to 1004 it went down to 1001
there is a gale warning out for marine areas, gusts to 45 kts
but it has not realy developed to anything that strong...i was surprised they put that forecast out...
the low has peaked now.,.showers are not as intense on the sat image (but northland got a good hamering), and the low has moved east into the BOP now..
