Radar for the North Shore certainly looks interesting at the moment. Lots of colour!

The unstable environment is associated with an upper low that cut off from the polar vortex.

5mm very quick mm here, just north of here copped the most intense rainfall in that afternoon cell. That makes 55mm so far, only 2mm more needed for my November average. Tomorrow looking just as unstable, especially south Auckland.

Woken by well over a dozen strikes in and around Waikeke between about 12:55am and 1:40am this morning from a very small cell that developed just to the north of here. Didn't get much rain from it here though. And a few more strikes just to our NW between about 5:10am and 5:30am by the looks.
