Hey Phil,

What's your email address? I'll send you the pics of the flooding out at Bethells Beach. They are too big too upload on here (need to compress them).

flooding up to 1m deep around the Ellerslie underpass and bad on some other roads there.. looks like the edge is approaching here now..
I went up to Warkworth this afternoon for tv3 news and luckily just missed the really heavy rain on the road but had a great downpour while trying to set up! then on the dry side until the Northern motorway returning at about 8:30

Oh well guess I am just too far east here for any heavy rain. Seems its concentrating on central Auckland.

Interesting that the rain stopped in Albany two hrs ago but it is still raining here, a very slow moving line. We have not had the downpours here some other suburbs have had, mostly light to mod rain here.

Yes the heavier stuff is moving south now as its was heavy in town earlier but eased there.

Well after 10.45pm last night, we had very heavy rain sustained for nearly 2 hours here! Biggest downpour for a while. Ended up with 60mm total yesterday (ending midnight) and another 20mm after.
Over 100mm for December here now

NZstorm · Unread post by **NZstorm** » Sat 05/12/2009 08:15

Yes, that was the ultimate rain making machine. Maybe December is going to be an excessively wet month like October was.

I'm glad the farmers got the rain too, really need it. I spoke to my son this morning and he said they only got 9mm in Hukerenui over 24hrs - not enough.

I remember most years especially in the 1980s December we always got a week of full on rain early in the month.

Looks unstable here this afternoon, my wxsim forecast is saying "some thunder possible"
I just wish this stupid cloud cover would go......

jamie · Unread post by **jamie** » Sat 05/12/2009 13:50

had some heat showers around here today.. something is stopping the development from growing into anything respectable. but it looks good to see some unstable skies

The upper trough has moved east with temps in the upper layers warming a little. this has made the troposphere more stable.
