They also said that rain was not expected to reach warning levels in the watch, thats why i said it and it was said last night that it was strange that no full warning was given.spwill wrote:melja wrote:Some great rainfall up kaikora way with 136mm since midnight, M/S put a warning out an hour ago after the rain had fallen
This heavy rain has been in the MetService severe weather outlook, weather forecast and severe weather watch for days. Good job MetService

Sleet ?Jasestorm wrote:Up to 30mm so far since 5pm last night, rain was quite steady to heavy off and on from midnight to i think around 4am last time i woke up and it was more silent on the roof.
Ashley River Bridge was closed for awhile this morning due to high river levels, and plenty of surface water building up in paddocks etc.
Rain has been light and drizzly all day at work but picked up around 3pm as i left work falling steadily with big sleet droplets mixed in which is interesting the snow level must be about 300m.
My work is near Oxford which is 256m asl.
For sure!Richard wrote:Deano , ive spent over 30 years working in the high country shearing/mustering etc and have experienced many snow events, the one thing i have learnt over those years is larger the snow flake the lower it will descend as sleet,it is possible Jase saw sleet though it may well have been closer to a pure raindrop than snow flake.
Yeah it was fizzling when it hit the windowscreen and could just see it coming down, wouldnt surprise me as there was snow on the hills with a clear window around lunctime i would say the 500-600m mark.Deano wrote:Sleet ?Jasestorm wrote:Up to 30mm so far since 5pm last night, rain was quite steady to heavy off and on from midnight to i think around 4am last time i woke up and it was more silent on the roof.

I find that hard to believe.

Methven rain and 6 degrees at 320 metres
Castle Hill rain and 3.6 degrees at 700 metres
Rain easing off here this afternoon as forecast.
Hopefully fining up for our wkd in Hanmer!

Its being interesting why areas within 50 kms around Bank Peninsula have had little in the way of precipitation from this event.Razor wrote:A whopping 5.5mm here. Next to nothing compared to the rest of you round here!
