Was very busy all day but looked up in time to see this at around 3.40pm... kept a few of us entertained for a while :)

Excellent capture.
Not in Auckland today but I'm guessing the colder easterly arriving over the warmed land helped produce those shallow Cu build ups.

We had clouds like that around the Canterbury plains today but nothing that spawned or would spawn a funnel :(
It is what I call the "1040hPa" scenario rather than a 1030hPa one :D

i missed this thread
we got a line of heavy rain here too from a similar cloud line
looked very unstable in the lower portion of the cloud, and I would not have been surprised to see a funnel cloud in this area too at the same time!
good stuff :)
