Just had a heavy fall here, 4mm last 20 mins.

Rickys data shows only 3.6mm fallen since 9am,have been in the city and also out here and its bucketing down,decimal point wromg place?

Rain got heavier overnight at times but just off and on stuff, lighter drizzle today mainly although its now back to a thick light rain/drizzle.
Up to 25mm so far in the gauge so a decent drink for the gardens.

Lucky! Way more than here. Signs that rain is getting closer to setting in here. Juts on off light drizzle rain at times today but 2pm radar shows some good development.

Only 5mm of rain down here. Good to hear that places in North Canterbury that need rain got some good totals. Certainly a lot colder than recent days struggling to get much above 8 degrees.

its thumping down here in hamilton!!!!!

23mm on top of the 28mm before 9am, here
should ease up soon going by the rain radar

Steady rain falling here now. 11mm so far for this low.

A burst of heavy rain here in Templeton a short time ago peaked at 22.6 mm/h.

14.6mm for the day so far.

Gone so dark here have to turn the lights on, really looks like its about to pour down!

just topped the 60mm mark from this event. Looks to be carrying on and still raining heavily. Car park at work is flooded. Im going to have to get wet feet to get to my car. Water will be atleast half tyre height at its deepest.

38.7mm here so far, turned really dark half an hour ago.
Still raining steadily.
Total for May so far 110.1mm

wow lots of flooding around the hamilton area. farm lad outside hamilton most drains are overflowing making paddocks lakes. all the parks in hamilton have flooding and the usually quiet stream behind where i live is a mossive torrent. never seen it so flooded.

there was alot of flodding in the Franklin area too when I came through around 2:30pm
great looking sky with the clearence coming through

Yup some minor flooding in Matangi too, around 50-60mm from the event.
up to 76mm/hr at one stage.

Kaukapakapa river is starting to fill the farmland around it. Driving from Kaukapakapa to Helensville lots of paddock flooding and the drains next to the roads are all flooded and starting to flow over onto the road.
39mm of rain today.

wonder when this rain band is going to move up from the south like the 3 day models show.

that front looked active over the Kaimais area and just to the west of that, and I picked up a strike in that area

Luckily that band has moved east of the NI above BOP because she has sprung into life in the last hour or so. Shows quite nicely on 8pm radar. Might get another 2mm tops from this system before its out leaving no more than 15mm and a monthly total of 41mm to date

getting a few strikes to my NW from the CB line that is out there....

There was another spill of rain around 4:30 until just after 5pm with moderate falls and some brief bigger drops, then a wee bowt of rain around an hour ago steady on the roof.
Up to 27mm now might be nearly over by the looks with a clearing tomorrow, although some showers do return on saturday.
Blue skies have a brief wintry flick mid next week first time ive seen snow to low levels on there in awhile, but could well change.

53mm here from this event. And a pleasant 14C this morn.

MetService show Kerikeri Aero recording over 130mm from Wed arvo to Thu arvo.

Seems odd that MetService's Westport site recorded 137mm over the last 2 calendar days (mtd 478mm), while its Westport Aero site only recorded 72mm (mtd 210mm).

Greymouth Aero recorded 145mm over the last 2 calendar days (mtd 372mm). And a nearby PWS, less than 2km away, also recorded also 162mm (mtd 501mm).

Hokitika Aero recorded 110mm over the last 3 calendar days (mtd 377mm).

Another 53mm in Laingholm, in 24hrs to 7.30am today.

some big CB's passing just offshore here this morning

Yes, some okay looking cloud tops.
