Looks like the good weather of recent days has come to an end. Light rain here with a cold southeasterly wind. Currently 7.1 degrees.

Only the very occassional light drizzle patch here so far

Spent a great day at Lake Ida yesterday even with a westerly gusting over 80km/h at times

Like the blue colours and the fresh look! Bet the lake is pretty cold. Love it!

Sure is an interesting weather week ahead for the North Island and the subtropical low at the end of this week into next weekend has been very consistant from a long way out with the model runs also. I think somewhere like Tauranga could see a big rain event from this one. Currently they have already had 31mm with the bulk of that in the last 2 hours. The band moving in to the west of the upper NI at the moment could bring some very heavy falls provided it keeps the intensity its showing.

Yes, I'm quite concerned and yesterday cleaned drains etc.

I'm hoping it won't come to it, but historically in the last 15 odd years since the urban growth hit this suburb hard with all the subdivision of sections and increased runoff, this is the time of the year we flood.

Council has done a lot of work however and fingers crossed with the improved drainage above us and the stormwater man hole cover that came off just above us now bolted down we may be ok.

Just did a follow up check on this Thunderstorm around New Caledonia:

This is what the storm looked like on Nasa MODIS Aqua Satellite!

This thing was massive, appears to have been a very large multi-cell storm, no wonder why our Bolteks where picking it up well!
Right by the storms anvil is New Caledonia, now that gives you some perspective on how huge this thing was!

Had what I would describe as 'Torrential Drizzle' here in the past half hour or so. Gutters filling up quickly from it. Back to light stuff again now.

Bit of 'Torrential Drizzle' here also with a SSE wind

David · Unread post by **David** » Mon 25/04/2011 13:20

Surprisingly dry here so far today. Just a few annoying spots of rain much of the day. According to Metservice the heaviest is due to arrive from 9pm.

CHCH Weather Chaser · Mon 25/04/2011 14:10

Weather has eased here now and much higher cloud to the south now. Got some big sporadic drops at times too which surprised me a little.

Manukau heads obs · Mon 25/04/2011 14:16

steady rain here all day
23mm total now

CHCH Weather Chaser · Mon 25/04/2011 16:26

'Torrential Drizzle' is back in CHCH but the radar doesnt seem to show this. The cloud must be below the radar beam.

CHCH Weather Chaser · Mon 25/04/2011 18:17

6pm radars still havent updated on Metservice site yet and its 6:18pm...

David · Unread post by **David** » Mon 25/04/2011 19:20

The rain has really picked up here, very light during the day, but 4mm last hr now.
Pity the radars haven't updated for 2 hrs.

CHCH Weather Chaser · Mon 25/04/2011 19:43

A quiet night on the forum tonight considering what is forecast for up there. Hoping to hear the 'goings-on' since the radars are out. Very still with intermittent drizzle/light rain here continuing.

Here in Arrowtown a fresh southerly, 6C with showers after a fine cool day.

Manukau heads obs · Mon 25/04/2011 19:56

rain rate has picked up here now
38mm total here now
baro dropping again....

Annoying how the rain radars have stopped updating since the 5pm update

Anyone know a workaround?

yep $$$$$$$$$$$

24mm so far here today, about 2/3 of that in the last three hours.

A workaround?
How about free access to all us website owners to the radar images, then when metservice site stops updating the rest of us can carry on providing the data.

Nev · Unread post by **Nev** » Mon 25/04/2011 20:38

The Akld, Wgtn and Chch radars are still being updated on Weatherzone.co.nz

Just 20mm of light rain here since about midnight.

CHCH Weather Chaser · Mon 25/04/2011 20:55

Steady rain shower falling here now, big sporadic drops. 9mm here today.

It's been raining steadily here for the last couple of hours. Yet the rain gauge is showing nothing. Some really big worms have come up from the ground and are going up and down our drive way, lots of fun for the dogs (not).
