Could be some moderate instability over Canterbury and Otago tomorrow, depending on how things pan out with heating in the morning and on-shore breezes in the light airflow, might be some towers going up in the afternoon. :-k

Great funnel cloud material provided you have an oppisite wind backing up against say a NE.
Looks rather quiet on the thunder front at the moment, although things dont usually pick up until about mid November anyway.

No i say the storm season has begun.
Even you said the real storm season starts around the 1st of November, so id have to go with melja on that one, we have gone past pre storm season and now we are into the real thing. Maybe you are pushing storm season further away and saying it hasn't begun due to only having a 1 storm, so I get the feeling u are making up awensers you want to hear? ;)

The only reason we get excited about it is because of the rather pitaful winter we had to make up for it :lol: .

Its just my opinion that we dont get the storm seasons here in canterbury as we used to get in past years and this season so far is just not getting going either, maybe just not enough moisture around these days :-k

Yes pre storm season at the moment is what i mean with a marking of actual storm season starting around the 5th of November.
Why this date, because over the last 10 years thunderstorms have occured much more after the 5th of November.
Was it not only 2 years ago we had atleast 10 thunder days 3 of which were in a row around xmas, so who's to say its a gonner :lol: .
We shall see what the season brings us 8-[ .

Light a very big fire, it's going to be a cold night down there.
storm seasons here in canterbury
We only call it a season because it's a reliable time of the year for one or two storms.

Could have some ok potential for thunderstorms this evening indeed with that heating NE breeze and some weak CU inland at the moment.
Red blotch showing up in the south canterbury foothills on the latest rain radar, some isolated development there perhaps. :-k .

Quite a wet day here.. constant drizzle which has turned to heavier rain now, 13.2mm so far today. :)

Looks as though quite a large area of heavy rain set to move over the AK area later on tonight.

Thanks for that thought! Hopefully you're right! You are talking about heavy rain beyond the limits of the rain radar, aren't you?
