well,
looks like NZStorm was right....just heard two good claps between 10:10 and 10:20 am here in Newmarket.

Has anyone got a 10am rain radar image?

So THAT'S Where the garbagey weather we've had down here lately went -- back home where it belongs!

Nice and fine again in Omarama now.

I'm glad you got the thunderstorm today

I'm surprised that "Fine Weather Michael" put up the rain-radar imagery for the event. $\:D/$
Good also to see that Invercargill winning the nation's top temperature slot beating Kaitaia. NOW, that is a good evidence of global warming !!!

Ever read 'So Long, and Thanks for all the Fish', by Douglas Adams? There's a character in there I swear is based on Michael!

Yes I enjoy all the weather (whole) as a hobby but really enjoy the blue skies and light winds the best

Current map shows big cbs just to the west of us so we will probably get a hammering in the wee hours

Fine down here, save for a thickening high-altitude haze. The temperature was down to 4.8Â° around 10 minutes ago, but is gradually climbing as the haze thickens.

Report of a TS in the NZ Herald:
"A violent electrical storm hit Stanmore Bay on the Whangaparaoa Peninsula, north of Auckland, today cutting power briefly and prompting a Fire Service call-out from Silverdale.

Cathy Newman was at home in D'Oyly Drive working when lightning struck a nearby pine tree and "ricocheted" into the house. "

Its fine here this morning but Auckland is always like that in winter in the mornings and can start raining in an hour

Any hope of more TS? It's clear here in Omarama again, so I'm not anticipating exciting weather anytime soon, but it would be nice to hear of others dodging lightning!

Went to Hamilton today and could see a large cb towering up towards the Coromandel It was quite clear there this morning but cloudier back to Ak

From my vantage point in Howick (where I was working) I observed a couple of cb's mid-afternoon. Midday sounding tells me the tops were about 6500m.
