Some odd capped cumulus congestus around here this afternoon, may have light shower around early evening.

Lovely day compared to yesterday.

Thick drizzle was falling at 5pm near CHCH Hospital. On the way home turned to brief heavy rain but remains dry out here in Halswell currently.

A few big drops of precip just after 1800 here in Conifer Grove, Papakura from the sea breeze convergence activity overhead. Breeze was gentle westerly but has just established a 180 shift, still very light airs.

Heavy shower here has silenced the cicadas, and we have that fabulous "wet forest" smell.

Assuming last nights NZWP12Z sounding is still current, that cu buildup is to 3000m.

Another lovely morning. The few towering Cu around and the light wind pattern are a sure sign of afternoon sea breeze convergence showers over the isthmus.

A mostly cloudy afternoon here, but a max of 25.0°C makes it my equal hottest day of summer so far. Looks like the SW sea breeze has won over the NE today :smile:

Not good with this overcast weather though who knows where summer has gone :rolleyes: .
