The rain has arrived just now in Auckland as the wind goes clockwise(still calm now) then later the predicted SW "gales" will arrive

At least it cleared up by lunchtime(it looked as though it had set in) to leave it sunny and warm again

Looks like its coming late as the clouds are now racing across the sky here from the "Gale Direction" and the low to the east has joined up the westerly flow-The rain/showers should arrive in the morning now
