Rain easing up to constant drizzle now. 28.9mm so far for this event.
Light WSW winds. Don't think NE will develop.

30mm here. Drizzle now is very thick and wetting. Looking at radar the biggest band of the day is perhaps developing at the top of the south and will work its way down towards here over the next few hours.

34mm also here (look at that 3 in a row!) Big band moving in now and you can see by the radar that finally the flow is turning more easterly (onshore) now so this could pump in some big rain clouds over the next few hours.

Been 18mm in town, 20 in the foothills over the past 24 hours, with MS saying 100mm in the next 24 hours.

Leith peaked two hours ago at 10 cumecs, which is pretty high for 20-25mms of quite gentle rain. Now at 8 cumecs.

After persistent and at times heavy drizzle for much of the day, the rain is much heavier here in Dunedin this last half hour. Heard of some rockfall too in the Cromwell Gorge in Central Otago

Been outside a reasonable amount of the afternoon doing an aerial job that I couldn't put off. Really dislike those jobs at this time of the year. That rain is wind blown and relentless. Yay for fresh water repellant on the shell, pity I still got darn wet.

About 1630, it absolutely pelted down in Manukau/Manurewa. High wind was associated with sheets of rain, at times dropping visibility down to almost nothing.

Also, the high winds left tell tale signs by the sheer amount of leaves on the roads.

Here are a few pic's of surface flooding
