ESE, I see. From the easterly quater....yeah, that'll do.
I'm thinking maybe some buildups, possibly thundery for Auckland today. There's a cold pool of -25/-26 sitting over them . Here in Chch it's -21/-22 (500mb). So around 3pm onwards if anythings going to happen around Auckland, what do you think Steven W? I'm looking foward to a report!!

The deeply unstable air over the South Island yesterday has moved on.It's looking slightly thundery today with scatered Cu humulus around.
Just glancing todays Invercargill sounding, no chance of thunderstorms over Canterbury though should get a few cumulus tops upto about 2500m.
As for Auckland, the nimbostratus never really cleared and we have got the steady rain back.

Im thinking about getting one aswell, but will be at first used only for storm chasing around canterbury/westcoast. Run it off a computer in my car tracking storms etc, but still it will be like christmas before anything will happens

Good to here Brian! Now for some lightning! Well ok, maybe not tonight but good to here some clouds sprung up.
Great news ricky on getting a boltek. We've got the country covered now!! Maybe it would be interesting to compare results where the two systems overlap to asses accuracy. Will you be putting it on the web? Maybe Brian could help? No worries if not though.

Fantastic news, a Nth Island Boltek..sensational effort Ricky!!! I am still working on the missus to allow me to spend the cash to obtain one, however she argues that stock drench is more important than a lightning detector... lol !!
Like Brian, I am ore than happy to send a donation to you if needed!!
Brian, have to agree re the cloud formation, very low base and very dark, still no thunder tho...altho very steady rain for most of the day 20mm +, temp is now 10.5C and Baro rising at 1008.6Hpa... possibly a fine day tommorow...
