Hopefully it could be 8 days Steven,there was nothing in N Canterbury yesterday but the forecast is saying that it could be a possibly "in the north" today though,thick fog here this morning so maybe there's enough moisture about.
Neat photos Aaron
been near Oxford yesterday and rather close to those build ups i have to say they were some of the most spectacular looking storm clouds ive seen for some time.

I will keep an eye on Fri/Sat for thunder over the upper NorthIsland, 19C dewpoints in place with daytime heating, obviously still model variability for this time.

Thought about going for a drive but decided not to because the storm is a bit too far over the back from Hanmer and two,too bloody hot so me&kids went down the river instead.
Shot taken at 5.00pm from our front door,its been pretty much over the one area all afternoon.
