At least there 'Now' Casting is on target!

I was wondering if this was gonna get mentioned today

I noticed it was quite muggy and warm when I got the cat in at 7 a.m....and by the time I dropped the kids off before work at 9 it was already 18deg...hmmm.....

Possible chance for thunder this evening quite abit of CU about looks better further south which is possibly where the colder air is.
Not getting the hopes up though lol

Between 4-7pm we had dewpoints around 12Â°C at the airport, (got up to 7Â°C at jeffs) when the NE kicked in. Although still ther wasnt a serious risk of tstorms, any Cu that formed was low topped and high based.

Blue skies were going for brief thundery showers possible which is why there was obviously a slight risk, not to mention the accuracy of forecasting

Some people have nothing better to do with thier time i couldn't believe those posts obviously someone with a grudge i think we know who that could be .
Anyway back on topic has been lots of towering CU about today also looks to be a thunderstorm around perhaps north of Timaru just before tracker showed a few strikes and also rain radar showed a heavy patch.
Light to moderate rain falling here at the moment and 15C.
