I reckon much lighter rain or maybe only drizzle in Chch for most of the day, and steadier rain only developing during the evening, then continuing past midnight through to at least dawn on Tuesday.TonyT wrote:For now, I will say 18mm.
So, while I think 20-25mm is likely for the full event, for the period up to midnight I will go for 11mm.

I think 17.5mm now. I don't know why 17.5mm but hey, sounds good to me! lol. There should be something out of it, the juicy end of the front is lying over Canty.
Mt Somers got 30mm the other day Micheal, it can rain. lol.
Cheers
Edit: After 10:00! But I've allready got my estimate in, just putting up a map showing the fronts:
