Very fine rain going on at moment.

I had my rain setting set to 2x by mistake (after I had fixed a rain gauge problem)
so 17mm here in stead of 37mm!

nice drop of rain for the farmers/growers :)

SW change here with no real precipitation (just a fine mist as the temperature has dropped a bit after the wind change)

From my vantage point 7 floors up in cbd I can see some impressive rain bands to the north out Oxford way, it's cloudy from here to there, and it's pissing down out there, and beyond that is sunny skies, looks pretty cool. Doom & Gloom to the south beyond the port hills.

Had to make a dash for the car to go out at 9.50am, through very heavy rain with some little hailstones. Got soaked. Dense cloud moving quite quickly and low now, wind has picked up also, booming in chimney and making pine-tops sway. Still raining. 9.3 degrees. Incredible to think there's blue sky not so very far away in the north!

Cold & drizzly, but no sign of any significant rain yet, though radar suggests it's probably an hour or two away.

Raining here with a moderate southeasterly currently 7 degrees 9mm of rain so far. That radar image looks impressive looks like most of the heavy rain missed us and went out across the plains.
