Yes, that's from the Northland Regional Council's Hakaru at Tara gauge that ScottyD posted last night.
378mm of that 381mm fell in less than 12 hours, with 253mm in just 3 hours... 8-o

A fine day after a cold night, down to 3.6C, the day was mainly fine with some scattered cloud this afternoon and moderate NE breezes easing this evening. 21C for today the maximum. Still a bit of snow, today, on the top of Mt. Peel from Wednesday.

Running 0.8C below my February average temp this month. And with 3 days to go it looks possible we won’t hit 26C for the entire month (which would be a first for February in my records).

Last February the Auckland average maximum was around 26C.

Any showers today for the Auckland region look isolated.

I think heating will have a bearing on thunder chances today, see how much heating we can get today. Northland looks best placed for sunshine.

After today a sunny week coming up for Auckland for a change. :smile:

I think the best convergence will be over east Auckland a bit later. Towers and the odd Cb around now.

After looking threatening it all amounted to a few drops here. Storms looked pretty heavy further north for a while there I hope there haven't been too many more problems.

Some pyrocumulus clouds developing from burn offs today. The photo is from a burn off near St. Andrews.
