looks like we have a lull between the storms here in Jaffaland...but some daytime heating could make life interesting this afternoon???? It's certainly mild outside

Metvuw has a 10am image for Wellington. We have quite thick drizzle here at Amberley, but its not showing on the radar.

Wellington radar restored and drizzle showing on Christchurch Close Up radar

Auckland looking active again...

Yep sweeping in accross the central city as I speak....looks like quite a squall line coming in from the west

EDIT and a clearance arriving now to blue sky arriving with distant CB's evident behind the waitakeres. Now that might just allow some of that afternoon heating / convergence for the next wave of showers????

Has remained overcast and cool here,14c, a few showers, 4mm since 9am.

Looks like any thundery weather has been off our West Coast out to sea.

There's been quite a misuse on here of the term 'squall line' over the last few days.

Is that a criticism of my above post?

It came through from the west as a distinct brief line of heavy rain accompanied by stong winds and rapidly cleared afterwards. Sounds like a squall line to me.

whats your defnintion foggy?

Good CB activity at Auckland Airport now.

Sunshine here.

Looking north to the airport it is very black.

NZstorm · Unread post by **NZstorm** » Mon 02/10/2006 14:01

A big local lightning bolt last few minutes.

Hail size was about 8mm.

Rainfall 18mm last hour, that takes our total to over 100mm since rain started yesterday.
