Yes, also a shortwave crossing the region which helps to kick the convection off.

Bit of a gust front development in south canty by the looks of it

Clouds just to south of Ashburton look interesting at the moment, quite a well-defined and soggy-looking line

Picked up 21 mm of rain here from that front.

Looking very wet for me today, working outside in the Mount, Ohope & Opotiki areas today. Arrived with some good rates a short time back. Surprisingly warm/humid.

Even your neck of the woods Richard is looking great with this event, good for something different

Some humid weather heading our way later in the week, early next week.

Unstable skies around here today but a lack of convergence, Waikato perhaps the place for a storm this afternoon, some heavy showers/ isolated thunder there last hr.

hearing thunder to my east here is Morrinsville

We now have great heating going on now that the last shower line has gone. A couple hours of this and then another burst of showers coming in should provide very good fuel for them to grow into thunderstorms.

Some very dark clouds approaching from the north here, the washing's in so it can do what it likes $\:D/$

No real surface convergence today Willoughby so not a lot developed.

Yes. I could see that from here but the 'pregnancy' in it was lacking and you could tell that it was likely much to fade as the afternoon wore on.

neat shelf cloud formed on a cell and rolled over palmerston north, lots of rain but no thunder observed

Strongs southwest winds for Auckland today, partly cloudy conditions.

Much lighter wind tomorrow and fine.

jamie · Unread post by **jamie** » Tue 08/11/2016 14:36

This wind is horrendous. I'm wondering if my station is recording it right as it hasn't recorded over 70km yet. We have had stuff blow over and break that we have never had fall over.

I thought it was supposed to ease throughout the day?

Manukau heads obs · Tue 08/11/2016 15:17

it is very gusty, which makes it seem stronger?
