I'm sitting at maramarua SH2 and there is development in all directions. Looks a decent shower towards Te Kauwhata.

Brought the washing in an hour ago due to incoming showers on the radar... but they fizzled out before they got here!

A heavy shower crossed Auckland mid afternoon with 5mm in places. I missed it here in Grey Lynn.

Plenty of lightning late afternoon over the central NI/Waitomo according to tracker.

Everyone in Greymouth talking about yesterdays max. I have spent a lot of time today trying to put things right in various shops I have visited. Actually my own station got 34C today but it is a tad sheltered if no wind is blowing !

Springs Junction 32.1C yesterday
