That Pukekohe cloud built up and glaciated into a weak cb. Will be giving Brian's place a good watering about now.
Edit, Brian reports thunder from this cloud on the other thread. So not that weak.

I feel the day in cantab was not all lost either, just no storms unfortunately. It showed promis!Tomorrow seems like a good day for afternoon thunderstorms in the Auckland/Northland/Waikato area, I'd love to see some pop up so there's some good pic's and a report! The instability is there. The upper air gets cold while 850 mb temps stay the same so surface temps should be good creating an unstable laps rate. Will there be any trigger however? It seems more likely than today here in Cantab for sure.
Cheers
