Bucketing heavily here now too!!

my bones were correct
60mm recorded on the west side of the peninsular late last night!
(we got 15mm only here)
flash flooding, side of roads a bit of a mess

we are still in the generation zone....a shower over south auckkand now
fine weather out to our NW

note, i need to confirm more on the 60mm (700 feet altitude)
another rain gauge a few kms east only 30mm
update. 50mm more like, there was only 10mm before

Still raining here in central AK but looks like the weather will improve this afternoon as the front moves south.

Should be a few ts over central/lower NI this afternoon.

A sunny day in the Mackenzie, so far.

In for a day of heavy rain at long last!

Monday is also shaping up nicely for more heavy rain.

Can anyone else access the MetService sites?

Looks like they are down/offline right now.

Met Service is OK now anyway...

Today is shaping up exactly the same as yesterday here... 100% overcast, humid etc... Looks like we might get another storm later...

A couple of Cb's have developed over Northland, near Whangarei.
Strikes on the tracker over the top of Northland are probably from those clouds in the South.

Yes, definately from the Cb inland from Whangarei.. must be fairly weak..
Looks like the eastern Coromandel is getting some very heavy rain now!

Starting to clear from the north-west, behind the murk to the north are some good looking cu - they are really boiling up quickly... just a shame it's so late in the day!

Directly north is a mature cb with anvil, no too sure how far away it is, over the Kaipara area is my guess.

And the cb over the Kaipara area

Heavy rain continues to bucket down ... looks like the heaviest is still to come!

I've done a short (1 picture taken every minute for 10 minutes) animation of a cu at sunset - nothing spectacular, but I like it!

Nice to see the sun out again.

Air looks a tad unstable over the central NI to upper SI. So isolated TS over the inland ranges in those regions. fairly stable elsewhere today.

showers have developed in the area now here....
nwer building here on the coast, so the showers are going to get pushed way to the SE

Pretty much a fine day over Auckland now with 24C but some t/cu.
Can see a cb top to SE. Should be a few thunderstorms central North Island this afternoon.
