cool to see those land pop up rain lines on the rain radar

This thing is really of! Only 6mm? Don't think so i live only 5km from parakai and if got around 50mm today

that will be a 9am reset, i.e 6mm since 9am

The windows are steaming up on the house as the outside temp/dp rise! The condensation is on the outside of the window, never seen that before.

yep, i see that too, interesting.

also looks to be some hooks in the trailing edge of the last cb's, wonder if any funnels are being produced?

just started to get the condensation here also. and very much warmer outside!

Started raining again in Kaukapakapa

Notice the Tauranga, Rotorua and Whakatane regions are still getting very extreme hourly rates. Whakatane 16mm last hour, 18 before that and 15 before that if i remember correctly!

RAIN!!

Nothing compared to the totals further north but finally, some good sustained rain in the Wairarapa!

Have had the following from this event:
21/01: 8.4mm
22/01: 16.0mm
23/01: 5.0mm and counting.....

Really pleased with the total and the soaking steady nature of the rain. Radar shows we should get significantly more, and coupled with the cooler temperatures (currently 12C) and lack of wind, it is allowing the pastures and soil moisture levels to regenerate, albeit slowly.

Weatherwatch on twitter is reporting about the condensation on the outside of windows and the weird humidity and temp increase

Rain falling at around a steady 15-20mm/hr

Manukau heads obs · Sun 23/01/2011 10:38

100mm total here now

I see the western side of northland and down this side might hold onto the rain a bit longer yet
still only 16C here!

wind definitely starting to pick up now! gusty

I stil don't understand where they think another 100mm is going to come from...no rain here for over an hour, cloudy, warm and gusty NE winds. Remaining surface water has all been soaked up. Event total since 4pm yesterday 89mm, much less than expected here

I would sure like another 100mm but i think it's unlikely

up to 60mm/hr now

Looking at the traffic cams in Auckland - a bit of chaos out there around Esmonde Rd, and the causeway on the North Western http://www.metservice.com/national/traf ... s/auckland High tides plus probably a bit of storm surge
