Metservice out of order today?

[Razor]

The website doesn't seem to have updated since 7am this morning. No new forecasts, or readings. Most unusual, I would love to know how warm it is here today!

[mikechamble]

Yeah i noticed that, its rather annoying!

[NZ Thunderstorm Soc]

Yes, I thought it was a bit strange with no gale warnings for Christchurch and the Canterbury Plains when now half of the province has now been blown out to sea

Yeah, I noticed that at about lunhtime. I thought it was the computer at school messing up (strange colours all over the place) but obviously not.

Probably on holiday still

[Razor]

Well I wish they weren't, some folk are getting hammered by worse weather than was predicted by the sound of things and as someone else has said, the lack of a weather forecast is perturbing to say the least.

Perhaps Blue Skies can give us an updated prediction instead!

[Inny Binny]

I think it's back now, symbols are different.

Allround looks like the Metservice haven't had a great day! I see it is raining through south Canty with the change, I don't think that was expected either.

Has got gloomy very quickly here too with a few spots of rain starting, must be the front coming through

Edit: Heavy rain now. And I see metservice have updated now at last well done!

[Inny Binny]

Bit of light rain here too now.

Yeah, Metservice are doing not so good today.

Very unstable out there now, keep your eyes to the South people in canty there are some really nice looking CU about,

[Inny Binny]

Hail and huge drops of rain just passing by now.

[Storm Struck]

Some nice thunderstorms forming down south along the coast ranging up to 20 strikes per minute at times on the tracker.

[Inny Binny]

[Inny Binny]

Very black cloud just about upon us *crosses fingers*

[mikestormchaser]

hmm i kinda feel that it may be just a roll cloud/ shelf cloud but its coming up black and fast! impressive!

[Inny Binny]

That's what I initially thought, but I'm just hoping...

Temps are dropping fast here, quite cold out.
