one extreme to the next huh

back in March we were 200mm behind last year at the time, but now we are just 50mm behind. SO we have caught up 200mm in the past 2 months on last year. 300mm in the last month and a half and 50mm in the first 3 months of the year :lol:

You can see how the colder land is affecting that rain band, weakening rapidly. Dry night in Howick

Seen and heard plenty of thunder and lightning during the night.

Had a couple of good showers here. Especially the one just now.

Yeah I tend to agree with Phil. Perhaps his bitchy comment might be a little harsh but to a point I agree.
I think we should support each other and not always be negative towards MetService,WeatherWatch, NIWA etc.
I know Blue Skies also have had their moments but with Tony T on here it's somewhat subdued possibly.
We should encompass it all and stop having a go but then again it's human nature I suppose...sigh...

I saw some small-scale mammatus on a CB on my walk to the bus stop around 7.40 this morning, looked really nice
