Fine, sunny, warm and very humid here in Laingholm. Nothing more than a few spots of rain so far today. spwill (nice photo as always!), that front crossing West Ak must have been to the north of here, certainly haven't seen anything that impressive so far today.

wind has gone SW here now and temperature cooler than it got all of last night. Nice to have a break from the heat, but it is very humid.

Apparently went off in Tauranga this afternoon, somewhere in the 1 to 2 pm area.

I was down Kawerau through Opotiki areas moving clinics in the lovely rain. Didn't see anything significant (I knew I shouldn't have taken "That Camera" with me.

Next time I'm going to take the old one.

The front kind of flopped,
Very warm upper was the problem. 500mb -12C. It means the instability was a bit fickle.
