Can see the cloud towers south of the Bombay Hills from here, isolated weak afternoon showers for Auckland, dewpoint around 18C, cloudy, max 25C, typical February weather for Auckland.

Would be nice if it 'teemed' here Just had an 'overthrow' spell of rain this afternoon, which is good.

got to 70mm/h here but thats nothing compared to the 228mm/h we got back in January. We got 4.2mm here as well Tim. So very similar readings
Looks like there is more to come in too.
