Just like the webcams they use during the news "and lets go to Auckland where it is cloudy and you see nothing from the pictures..." yes we can see that?!Philip Duncan wrote:Yeah they're really bad at thatcowkop wrote:Oh Onenews intro was funny today saying that the worst is still to come kind of way

41.4mm so far from this event although I was expecting a little more.
Interestingly the barometer is sitting on 987.8hpa which means the low that was formerly known as Zelia must have passed fairly close by as the BoM 06Z chart had that at 987hpa.

Re: Ex-TC(s) possibly heading for NZ
Still off and on showers here with larger drops at times, You can start to see where the low will cross in the coming hours.
Still such a nice night out there, 18.3C with 88% humidity and up to 28mm so far.

Re: Ex-TC(s) possibly heading for NZ
Tawa got 16 mm from this event, 12 mm of that fell between 9 pm and midnight. It was quite intense at about 9:30 p.m. (0.4 mm/min) so the run-off rate on dry, hard clay was rather high. The 4 mm that fell up until 1 am was probably the most useful for shrubs and gardens.
Mana, just north of Porirua, got 20 mm.

Total of just 8mm of mostly light rain/drizzle here. Over night temps of 21/22C, until about 6am. Down to 19C now, with RH still close to 100%. Winds fairly blustery yesterday, but nothing too exceptional. Starting to clear here now.

Re: Ex-TC(s) possibly heading for NZ
Was just checking out ECan website for rainfall totals from yesterday's system and did a double take on the name of a site:
http://ecan.govt.nz/services/online-ser ... eNo=320010
...jeepers, you'd think they would have renamed this site by now?!?!?
EDIT: Then found this below:

Re: Ex-TC(s) possibly heading for NZ
We tend to get more rain when it goes mid latitude from extra tropical maybe the cold air condensing it out,ie the winter sub tropical ones are that way.

Re: Ex-TC(s) possibly heading for NZ
I'd be stoked with 35mm Avalanche! - we got a miserable 4.2mm over the "hill" in West Taratahi. I see Masterton recorded the highest temp yesterday (it was stifling hot, 31C with a 21C DP and high humidity). The new Metservice history graphs are a nice feature on their web page.
