Pouring in Welly
Consistent rain at 15mm an hour here, very wet.
It has the potential to bring down further slips.

Still Pouring
It is still pouring in Wellington, we have just had the local fire siren go off twice in the last half hour and have fairly major run off from the hills, not looking good , especially on top of all the rain early last week.

What is that sound?
Why it rain dear Philip, rain. Sorry all of those from the North but I welcome a good dosing for the garden and before the Guy Fawkes idiots set the world on fire.

There is no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothes.

Wellington today....
Very windy day here in Upper Hutt accompanied with some very heavy and squally rainfall. So far the daily total is 40.2mm (231.2mm for the month here at my site in Pinehaven) with a temperature of 9.7C. I'd be interested to see what other observers have recorded around the district and there obs. Currently heavy rain with 30kmh NW Wind here....

37 mm of rain recorded for the day at Tawa to 22:00.
max rain rate was 41.9 mm/hr at 17:31.
The rain fell between 13:30 and 19:00 so the run-off has been impressive, as the ground hasn't recovered from Tuesday's "rain party."
On Tuesday we rolled past a metre of rain for the year to date, and have now reached 1045 mm. Month to date is 144 mm.
Mother nature is having a bit of fun with alternate wet and dry months.
That's life in the windy isles...

Seemed like the rain became lighter as it got further north.
9.2mm here, Rotorua picked up a good 30mm while Kuratau got 41mm.
Thunderstorm risk (or what's left of it) is subsiding rapidly now over NW SI/Taranaki/Horowhenua.
Fresh to strong westerly tomorrow with the change.
Edit: Youch these showers are heavy!

Just been driving home from my mums and the sky to the S or SW lit up with a bolt in there somewhere. Got back home and then saw another flash to the south. Not very frequent but associated with that cold front to come up overnight by the looks, was cool to see!
Hopefully something more? We'll see.
Cheers
