Best t-storm we've had here for a while. Getting lots of loud crackles now and the rumbles have been continuous for most of the afternoon. Up to 9mm now.

Nice photo! Just heard a distant rumble here, not sure what direction it came from though. Not even 1mm of rain today unfortunately.

I went for a drive over to east Auckland as well (Clevedon). Some nice CG's. The warm day increased the instability.

Cb over east Auckland this afternoon.

It was abit unstable yesterday morning with those heavy showers and small hail coming through, a customer said there had been a heavy hail shower up in Oxford with some thunder about mid morning.
The timing of these systems and ingrediants are not quite coming together as yet, but who knows what the next few months hold

Monday is starting to look interesting for the upper half of the North Island. Warm moist air surface ahead of a very slowly approaching front. A jet starts to move on as well so some areas should see strong upper divergence.

Colourful orange sunrise sky here around 5:45am.

Yeah thick high cloud moved over a slight frost here, could make for another cold day.

Richard · Unread post by **Richard** » Sat 14/11/2015 06:39

No frost here as a northerly wind arrived along with the thick high cloud
