SOme very heavy shower activity just to the SW of here at the moment...interesting. WIll miss us I think but BP might get it.

[Lukemyster]

Heavy shower here now. Some hail too.

[NZ Thunderstorm Soc]

Yes. There were lots of juicy looking Cu towery build-ups today but rather weak and not delivering much apart from the best looking skies for ages. A sign showing La Nina on the wane here in Canterbury.

Lovely day currently 16 degrees with blue dome skies.

Has been very mild lately average max temperature are running 2-3 degrees above normal. Normally by the begining of may there is little or no growth yet im still having to mow the lawns which is very unusual. Ive even noticed a few of the trees have a few buds on them .

[David]

What a dull day today, I felt a bit cold even though it reached 15-16C

[spwill]

June average max for Auckland is 15.2C so we can call it a winter like day plenty of cloud cover, light winds,minimum was around 10C.
