22mm of rain so far since yesterday morning, another 10 would be the ideal as things were drying out

Drove through some heavy showers over SE Auckland yesterday afternoon, they formed on the NW wind change, a couple of photos.

The thunderstorm risk increases over the North Island tomorrow Tuesday with cooling upper levels. Plenty of sunshine tomorrow as well to increase instability.

Great shot David! Looks like it is about to ruin my bbq and beer in the sun!

Hopefully slides east so I can watch and listen and not get wet.

It was probably a lovely fine and sunny day with some high cloud above the grey and 'eggy' day, I mean 'aggy' day here today which covered the region here for today. See Tony's posting on "I SEE"
Overnight rain and rain this evening contributed to 12.7mm .
Light winds from the easterly quarter.
Possibly the same "claggy" weather here tomorrow :(

I’ve seen some photos on Facebook of hail about 10mm in diameter. Lots of hail accumulations on roadsides too.

Up north for Christmas so the thunderstorm activity will be in the South Island, probably.
Back in the new year.
Yes a lot of moisture around here in the last couple of days making the flowers in the garden looking droopy.
