Only managed 2.6mm here from about 1pm with distant rumbles heard, although eastern parts of Waiheke may have got more by the looks.

Re: Deep Subtropical Low 12-18th May!!!
Keep those reports coming in fella's, nothing but continous boring sunshine here.
Looks like a first bite at winter this Friday coming for eastern South Island regions, bringing snow down to around 400-500m for the first time this year would you believe.

Re: Deep Subtropical Low 12-18th May!!!
Went out about 1 1/2 hours ago for a bit of a drive.
Filthy mess passed over without so much as a bang, but lots of rain.
Has come out reasonably clear now, with that big band of rain heading south.
A couple of CB's bubbled up way out west on the coast.

Ok here a couple of pics, the CB itself is very messy looking (which is why it probably isnt giving out much lightning)

Re: Deep Subtropical Low 12-18th May!!!
BOP could be the next area most likely to get a small tornado?
the squall line that came through here had the potential to drop a funnel
although M/S now have a watch out for taranaki
some nice CB tops way to my west

Brian, Keep an eye out to your NW, it seems a small line of CB's may clip the Manuakau Heads.

Re: Deep Subtropical Low 12-18th May!!!
One thing I never heard is "squall warnings" in general reports,usaully was wind warnings or thunderstorm warnings though they used to say showers could be squally?

Re: Deep Subtropical Low 12-18th May!!!
The trough was quite obvious on my weather graphs:
Has any1 else got this on their own 1s?
If tomorrow is good, who's free to do some chasing?

Yes, I love being able to see the sudden changes in the weather variables on my graphs when things like troughs go through.Tornado Tim wrote:The trough was quite obvious on my weather graphs:

Today showed a drop in temperature with the heavy shower, a small upward pressure spike and a temporary wind shift to the NW:
