Great storm report Brian, I saw a lowering over your way but I dont think it was a Funnel cloud, photo.

Re: Deep Subtropical Low 12-18th May!!!
A few claps of thunder and some visible lightning out west....yee-har!
Its also gone quite cold so i think the chances of hail are quite high.
You can see an extensive line of Cb's forming now and parts of Auckland look to be in the mix

We got 12mm over an hour yesterday afternoon from a slow moving cb over Henderson. It put out perhaps 4-5 lightning strikes but was mainly lots of good rain.

Re: Deep Subtropical Low 12-18th May!!!
just an update to the storm we had yesterday
reports of paddocks white with hail, just 2km N of me...which makes that right under that very dark base of that photo I posted above
another update: Houses in the waiuku area had appliances blown up by the lightning

Ahh so it was a sundog, I've only ever seen a couple over in Perth but I'd imagine they might be a bit more common over here. Thanks for putting up the extra shots, it shows the halo and sundog really well!DT-NZ wrote:Morning TimTim S wrote:DT-NZ, in your 3rd shot (17052010-02) is that a sundog or halo? I'm thinking halo but it looks like its concentrated in one point.
Both halo and sun taken at 16:00hrs looking north - unfornately I do not have a wide angle len's and would have been able to have shown the view west over the tasman sea showing the same thing - halo and sundog.
What I have done is included a few more pics below of the original and another pic where I have adjusted the RGB output curve in the original to enhance the sundog.
Cheers, DT
Sounds as though you would benefit hugely from a wide angle lens though, although there's not many storm chasers that couldn't! storms aren't usually too kind in fitting into a 28mm lens! Although being $1000+ the hardest thing I found was convincing my better half that I need to spend another grand on a 4th lens when I have 3 perfectly good ones already! speaking of which if anyone has a 2nd hand 10-20 or 10-22mm going cheap please pm me.
Great lot of photos in this thread everyone who posted them, great to see how the different areas of NZ faired from this event.
