I finally got around to adjusting the offset for the lightning detector. So now it should be more in line with the Kerikeri and Auckland one. Correlation should work better now too. Next on the list is to get the latest update for the software. Sounds like quite a good update and ill try get that done next weekend.

better get in and readjust the correlation corrections then, I had you at a 22degree offset..
I added the Kerikeri one quite a few weeks ago, not sure when it went online.. is it anyone on the forum here?

Brian, that station was a EX Christchurch detector.
It was sold on trademe for about $300
There is a boltek in Tokoroa too,

it would be good if that Tokoroa station had nexstorm and then added strike start and the time sync needed
then the correlations between all the stations (mine is not going to strike star at the moment) would be great!

Yes

I believe it is Alan's station, awesome

Well, its starting to rain now... strong nor easter... and look.., there goes the pot plant falling over out on the deck with that gust of wind that came through... take care.

Yes, we've also had gale winds in the Gulf for most of day and last night. Mean-winds at Cape Reinga have been up around 90 km/h. Looks threatening but no rain here though - DP's too low.

What started out as a pleasant day here yesterday turned to an afternoon of drizzle/light rain from 11:30am and persisted for most of the afternoon - 3.5mm plus another 1mm this morn. I see Ricky (Grey Lynn) only managed 0.2mm yesterday.

Tornado Tim · Unread post by **Tornado Tim** » Fri 14/08/2009 08:49

My forecast is outline a significant amount of rainfall to drop tonight.
I see Metservice has issued a Heavy Rain warning for Coromandel and BOP.

Catatonic · Unread post by **Catatonic** » Fri 14/08/2009 10:18

It's been tipping down in Warkworth this morning, no wind to speak of yet though.

Nev · Unread post by **Nev** » Fri 14/08/2009 15:38

Yes, already up to about 70mm at Coromandel's Castle Rock. Rain starting to clear here for now - 13mm since 9am. Kerikeri has 26mm since midnight.
Gales in the Gulf earlier have eased off too - Tiritiri had mean-winds of 80 km/h at midday.

Nev · Unread post by **Nev** » Fri 14/08/2009 20:21

Well over 70mm at Ohaeawai (near Kaikohe) since midnight according to the NRC.

Still on 14Â°C here at 8:20pm - rogue cell just brought my total to 15mm.

David · Unread post by **David** » Fri 14/08/2009 20:25

Still 14.2Â° here this evening, though the max was only 15.0Â°. Just over 17mm of rain here today.
I think we may see temps in the high teens tomorrow as the breeze turns NW, especially if the sun comes out...

spwill · Unread post by **spwill** » Fri 14/08/2009 21:19

We may get some heavy showers overnight from a line of Cb drifting down from the north , Ak dewpoint currently 14C.

NZstorm · Unread post by **NZstorm** » Fri 14/08/2009 21:35

Yes a bit of a blow up over and west of Northland tonight but no lightning activity with it so far.

Brassnz · Unread post by **Brassnz** » Sat 15/08/2009 08:01

Only 27mm rain in the last 24hr period. It sure felt like more than that. We have had a Shining Cuckoo in the valley below us this morning!

Nev · Unread post by **Nev** » Sat 15/08/2009 08:10

24mm here since early yesterday morn, Coromandel Ranges up around 170mm, Ohaeawai (near Kaikohe) 77.5mm and Alan's Kerikeri site total of over 52mm.

Didn't get below 13Â°C here last night and it looks like most of the North Island remained in double digits this morn.
