Some rumbles of Thunder going on atm, with decent heavy rain.

Only isolated heavy showers for Auckland today, various cumulus lines through the day producing the odd heavy shower.photo

A fine sort of a day where I was.

Latest run of the gfs has the colder upper air right over us Wednesday.

Overcast and drizzly all day here today.

Amazing how the shower lines went just 5km either side earlier. Luck might have run out with this next line, looks on target. Groundsman will be fretting over the radar images right now.

EDIT: This line looks like it might just skim away to the East. If this line misses probably will get to finish out the day, light permitting.

Well organised weather system.lol. And stunning Kane Williamson!

Brief localised deluge here few mins ago, must still be some convergence going on

Great photo of a funnel cloud

note that I had to "open image in new tab" to actually see the funnel as the pic is quite large

I have reduced the Jamie funnel cloud photo.

Thanks Simon. Not sure why it loaded so huge through tapatalk. Only just noticed how big it is now that I've looked on a computer

Looks like the best spot today is western Waikato but the convergence looks weak to me.

Cb just south of Auckland.

Clouds building up over South Auckland.

Has been a storm down that way. A lot of big towering cumulus over South Auckland currently

They look very stationary and have nasty cores to them too.

There was some thunder around 3pm so I went for a drive. End result was a horizontal rainbow and colours in the sky.

Manukau heads obs · Tue 28/03/2017 19:30

Lightning/distant thunder observed from Grey Lynn. Storm to the SSE atm.

Took this about 15 mins ago, now we have thunder and it's bucketing down.

KiwiWeather · Unread post by **KiwiWeather** » Tue 28/03/2017 19:45

We hit the quinella! Lightning as well

David · Unread post by **David** » Tue 28/03/2017 19:52

Saw a couple of distant flashes from Howick as well but doesn't appear very active from here. Did here some very quiet thunder (you had to be listening out for it to notice)

Manukau heads obs · Tue 28/03/2017 20:10

was able to do a nice little storm chase locally

What would be the explanation of the horizontal rainbow?...
