[spwill]

Dewpoint currently 16C for Auckland so some humidity there , overcaste but brighter and 19C, looks like we will see sunny spells this afternoon.

[David]

[snowstormwatcher]

Raining here all afternoon, 11mm so far.
Currently 8.8 degrees.

[CHCH Weather Chaser]

Its been trying to set in here but still rainfall is unrecorded (less than 0.2mm) Seems much of Canterbury as seen some more organised rainband. Timaru with over 15mm from 3 hours.

[Orion]

Yes, hard rain and strong winds here for the last hour or so. Chilly, down to 8.6 degrees now.

Cant keep up with M/S temps for here in chch, every time i look it says a new expected high and its getting worse in the last few weeks. Have had 17,19,20 and now back to 15 today i think and im guessing that was the real high for today as they do that- after the fact forecasting

[CHCH Weather Chaser]

Rain has set in now over the last 30-45mins. 5pm and 6pm radar show some very heavy stuff falling in Coastal North Canterbury and out to sea as well as south of CHCH. We seem to be missing out on the action here, at least for now...
LeBons Bay 13.6mm last hour, Ashburton 6.4mm

20.8mm in Le Bons Bay las hour? Cripes....heavy rain setting in here now (Riccarton offices)

EDIT....make that TORRENTIAL rain here now.... interestingly its moving in from the ESE. Massive drops, West Coast like proportions

Was briefly here too, back to steady rain now. Once again, big totals coming in. 11.6mm in LeBons Bay and 7.6mm for Ashburton. Only 2.6mm here in comparison.

[Razor]

Absolutely monsooning here in Riccarton for the past hour and still thumping down. I don't think I've ever seen a sustained deluge like this in all my years of living in ChCh- our office roof now has leaks all over the show, high drama

[CHCH Weather Chaser]

Wow, worth a drive over to have a look!! What area exactly?

By the way, a heavier area is approaching from just North of Rakaia!

[Skywatcher]

Peaked at 90mm/h here and about 7mm in 10 minutes !

[Razor]

I'm on Riccarton Rd between the Mall and Hagley Park right now

[CHCH Weather Chaser]

Peaked at 90mm/h here and about 7mm in 10 minutes !

[CHCH Weather Chaser]

I'm on Riccarton Rd between the Mall and Hagley Park right now

Ok going out for a wee drive now, will head that way as well. Hope she keeps up for me!!

[Manukau heads obs]

dont forget the M/S high resolution rain radar for CHCH
shows a heavy patch over Riccarton

[Skywatcher]

Peaked at 90mm/h here and about 7mm in 10 minutes !

wow, when was this?

The peak was at 8:16 but I misread the graph, it was only 6mm in 10 minutes from 8:08 to 8:18...

[Razor]

Has eased a bit for now but still wet. inside and out!

[Richard]

i'm back again bloody computer has been playing up on me.

Been good rain up this way too,good timing too as the central pivots around this area were been turned on again yesterday

[MTN]

Lightning and thunder at half 8 here

[Storm Struck]

Must be very localised falls just been moderate rain here with a very breif 2 minutes of heavy rain not overly heavy though, but now its stopped raining.
Fresh gusty E-NE now though and 10mm in the rain gauge.

[CHCH Weather Chaser]

Just got back from a wee drive. Surface flooding in some areas. QUite heavy around Cracroft, HoonHay areas at the moment. Very little wind with this which is strange for CHCH. Has been light NE but now light SSW currently. See you can see on the 830HS radar the intense stuff around your area MTN. Looks like that will bypass the city inland.

Another 12mm for the LeBons Bay past hour. Geez they are racking it up!

[Razor]

Great- cracroft, about to strap my running shoes on and head home ta for that

[NZ Thunderstorm Soc]

Some heavy, 'thundery' falls here in West Melton between 8:30pm and 9pm, before and after the SE change moved through.
No thunder or lightning heard and seen here.

[David]

Brilliant sunny afternoon here, has allowed the temperature to climb to nearly 21C. Thought we would have had some days of 23C by now.
