Noticed some nice CBs to the East while dropping my son off at school on the North Shore this morning, and when I got home I discover this: http://www.weatherwatch.co.nz/content/p ... orth-shore
Not a very big one but WeatherWatch seems to think there is potential for more as the day warms. Still a cool 17.8 here at the moment, moderately overcast.

Re: General February Weather
That will be a waterspout, forming off the warm sea surface relative to the cool upper level conditions , could see those towering Cu over the outer harbour this morning from here, classic waterspout weather given the time of year.littleheaven wrote:Noticed some nice CBs to the East while dropping my son off at school on the North Shore this morning, and when I got home I discover this: http://www.weatherwatch.co.nz/content/p ... orth-shore

Looking more closely at that photo you can see the spout impacting on the water surface.

Re: General February Weather
They were impressive, for sure. We've had some exciting weather in the last couple of weeks. Maybe it's just that I wasn't paying attention before, but I can't remember the last time there were so many waterspouts and little land-based funnel clouds in Auckland.spwill wrote:That will be a waterspout, forming off the warm sea surface relative to the cool upper level conditions , could see those towering Cu over the outer harbour this morning from here, classic waterspout weather given the time of year.

Re: Funnel Cloud on 28th Feb
Hi tobby921 and welcome to the forum.
A link (albeit a little vague) and ensuing discussion about that funnel cloud was already posted in the General February Weather thread. However, as you've started this separate thread, I've moved those relevant comments here.

Sorry for my vague link, Nev! Should I have started a separate thread for an event such as that?

Re: General February Weather
We have had quite a lot of upper level troughing lately. Recent Auckland Summers have been stable.littleheaven wrote: I can't remember the last time there were so many waterspouts and little land-based funnel clouds in Auckland.

Re: Funnel Cloud in Auckland on 28th, Feb
Hey Claire. Sorry, what I meant was that, without clicking on the link, I can see how that report may have been missed. Generally speaking though, it's usually a good idea to accompany links with a brief description.littleheaven wrote:Sorry for my vague link, Nev!

May not necessarily warrant a separate thread. It really depends on the potential for further discussion. Having said that, unless mods manage to split them into separate threads in time, significant tornado and spout reports have in the past tended to get lost amid pages of much broader thunderstorm discussions.
