Brighter weather arriving here now.
Dewpoint temperatures around 15C for the last few days have given the weather a very mild feel, Oct will be a little warmer than average to date here so far.

Nice storm here late this arvo, looks to have intensified as its tracked North. Heavy rain with localised flooding no hail here but will be interesting if Hasting North coped it.

Cold cored cumulus congestus out there this morning, producing scattered showers, around the area. Fairly unstable looking. 8.8°C SFC Temp atm (hence the showers being cold cored)

Nice pics Tim. I saw a CB out to sea (east of Auckland) just before 8am this morning.

Cell developed quickly here, passed over heavy rain mixed with small hail. Largest would have been 5mm. Frequent thunder.
