Botanic Gardens 30.2mm as at 1:30pm, been more since then too seems to be easing but still steady light rain

By comparison Haslwell just 9km away at home has at 3.5mm

Suprised how wet it is at home now, after a mostly dry day at north new brighton.
The radar shows that convergence line quite clearly though.

A thoroughly soggy day in Kaikõura today, set to get heavier through the night.

Cold day here. wrapped up sitting in front of the fire, whereas yesterday, running around in T shirt and shorts.
No wonder people get ill, with this type of contrasts in weather

Warm westerly here today with temps near 26C around lunchtime. Metservice has upgraded the thunderstorm risk across the upper NI tomorrow morning to high

That's sad

Whilst you Auckland folk are enjoying all the thunderstorms, all we get here is just 'Clagg'

in weather situations like this.

Up to 36mm now and could easily top 40mm going by the radar, cold now too with only 9C.
What I'm finding interesting is these systems of late seem to effect both the Canterbury area and the west coast with decent rain at the same time?

Just past 30 mm here, so 40mm a possibility alright.

Quite remarkable approaching 50mm in central Chch Botznic Gardens gauge, but only 7mm in Halswell

More flash/bang going on across southern parts of Auckland now....

Something on our farm just got hit by lightning. Praying it wasn’t the cows paddock. Thunder was between 1 and 2 seconds from the flash.

Getting plenty of what I would call close CG (less than ten seconds) and lots of lightning. Storm has just exploded. Doesn’t look much on radar.

25mm in 20 mins so far. Still coming down hard and still getting a few strikes per min that are close.

Just beaten my record 1 hour rainfall and it’s only been going 40 mins. 40mm in 40 mins.

64mm here with another storm to come through. I think I’m in a chance to beat my daily rainfall record too, which is 79mm.

Auckland has only been side swiped by this system with thunder observed here 2am and 18mm so far.

Got woken up by the first of 2 house-shaking kabooms around 1:54am, followed by some heavy downpours and more distant lightning. 28mm here so far since about 1am.

Below are Blitzortung's CG's for the 12 hrs to 5am this morn.

I should add I got 17mm before midnight so 81mm over night with more to come. Shame the 24 hour period is midnight to midnight and not any given 24 hour period

Yes a little disappointing... nothing heard here and only 17mm rain... can't complain too much though after recent events

The next potentially interesting storm set up is in the South Island on Saturday afternoon. A supercell possible on the Canterbury plains given 6km bulk shear upto 50knots.

The threat of elevated storms for northern NZ late Saturday appears to be subsiding.
