Where is a good site that shows the rainfall over the country?
I have this url http://www.metvuw.com/nzweather/rain.html
but its as good as "...on a bull" as it always reads N/A

The lightning has started to flash here with 3 second thunder following after ;)

If you have a look now you will see some rain totals. Metservice usually post this info at 6 hourly intervals eg 00, 06, 12, 18 hours. The totals at midday are 24 hour totals.
After 3pm the map will go back to na as no rainfall is reported.
