Becoming quite showery here this evening from rain from mid level NW type of cloud ?

Nice fine day here after morning cloud cleared away. Good weather this morning to pick raspberries, but my right arm suffered. 8-o
Tomorrow might be interesting with some instability inland. :-k

Little or no east coast sea breeze the last two days making for very warm conditions for eastern locations. I was at Takapuna today and Whangaporoa yesterday, temps late 20s. A lot of debris on the beaches from last weeks storm.

That'd be right. As I tried to test a washer & Autoclave in a MDU (Mobile Dental Unit) down there without enough power available to run the AC. No wonder I was a puddle.

That's nice :eek:
As a casual and non technical person, I wouldn't have a clue what you are on about but good luck anyway if you can remedy the situation? :o
Back to the weather, it was an overcast day here with light constant rain.

Thunderstorms return to central and eastern North Island tomorrow.

Keeping an eye on Saturday for possible storm nearer to Auckland.

Lots of Altocumulus castellanus in the sky this morning. A sign someone will get a decent storm today and it won't be Auckland. Quite dry air here should limit the shower risk next couple of days while some beefy thunderstorms will occur over central and eastern areas of the North Island. I may go for a drive down to Waitomo tomorrow, have to see how it looks then.

NZWP sounding last night showing moisture/instability in the middle atmosphere and very dry air nearer the surface although there is a thin layer of moisture at ground level.

A storm for Taupo later today, evening. Tomorrows storms look quite well south of Auckland again, for a chase you would need to drive to Otorohanga/Te Kuiti.
