Agree!

Great shot Sandi
The afternoon heating may help generate more storms later this afternoon as the next crop of Cbs comes down.

cool, what suburb is this? South Auckland's a pretty big area...

Great shot

The 3pm storm approaching here.

Good pic cbm.

Looks like some more convection possible tonight/morning for Auckland then the weather clears up for the week! Is going to be the start of spring?

Rain settling in here a bit earlier and heavier than I thought it might

Apparently there was a lightning strike on a house somewhere in Auckland today.?

Absolutely hosing down here now

Just steady rain here

Very heavy now, radar is very active and seems heavier than forecast.

Some reports of decent hail about the area today. Once the wind picked up and sun came out it got unstable quickly.

Just looked at blitzortung to check activity on incoming showers and all the nz and Aus stations are recording strikes from storms up in Japan. They must be bloody powerful strikes to be detected that far away would they not?

Good shot there, Sandi.
You must of had your 'magnet' on there

18mm here so far, mostly in a three hour block from 6pm. Certainly more than planned for!

6mm here, less than expected .

20mm here between 4pm yesterday and about 11pm.

Wow Mt hutt is having a ripper of a season! Coming up to 3.5m of snow, dare I say they could reach 4m???

Might fade away in the neckst couple days.

A resident of Pahoia, NW of Tauranga is attributing some wind damage to a tornado at around 3pm on Saturday. I suspect it was more likely to be a gust-front similar to what we had here earlier. MetService also not quite so convinced…

Nice day yesterday.

Its a clear morning but an upper trough crossing Auckland early afternoon may trigger isolated heat showers/hail over east Auckland.

Some thunderstorms showing up just east of Great Barrier Island currently.

Some T cu around today, isolated Cb in the east, an isolated weak storm near Waiheke last hr.
Photo, Cb out to the east which produced a weak storm

Good pic spwill. Not surprised there was a bit of lightning given the chilly airmass.
