Plenty of thunderstorms around the Wairarapa yesterday, saw a few CG's but as expected pretty messy. Today looking similar, less heating but stronger winds aloft, and convergence zone looks to be further north than where I was yesterday

I spose that Paul Mallinson dude has retired. His comments here were really interesting.

Showers in Grey Lynn now.
Today's supercell potential looks to be eastern Wairarapa.
Mid Canterbury showing some shear but the moisture has cleared.

Yes, last contact I had with Paul was just before Christmas in 2017, he had retired at that point. Sadly I've seen/heard nothing since. His insight would certainly be a welcome addition to the forum.
