Got a reasonable amount of rain here from this system - 47mm. More than I was expecting, but it seems to be a locally high total looking at other readings from Auckland.

24mm for the thread here so far.

Yesterdays half a dozen nearby CG's will hopefully add plenty of nitrates into the garden through the process called 'atmospheric nitrogen fixation'. A brief explanation in this link for those interested gardeners who like storms :smile: https://www.biology-pages.info/N/NitrogenCycle.html

Bit of a follow-on from this, low to moderate risk Friday through Saturday of severe gales for Southland, coastal Otago/South Canterbury and Banks Peninsula.

Glad you guys up north got some rain. I was looking at the hydro risk curves this week and the South Island lakes are nearly full, meanwhile the North Island ones are very low! Glad that iron-clad subtropical ridge weakened/moved north in the end.
