Starting to look good now, view to the west

Looking up on a 45deg

Can see a fan-shaped explosive-looking cloud to the north of here, and various other bubbly ones to west and south; however some seem to subside after a little while

Hot day, around 28deg. here also.

Thanks.
Some Cu cloud buildups to the west today but not looking as good as yesterday for development.
Warm here too, reaching 27C.

Yeah, looking a bit like that now,down here with the Cb tops breaking off from the lower Cu cogestus towers.
I even captured a photo of a cloud form that looked like a camel. Will post it later

Same up here too, largest development so far is near HanmerS and going by the radar are moving south this way, still got towering cloud over us here all so, interesting few hours coming up.

Thunder can be heard in Rangiora frequently, very long rumbling.

Is the easterly too strong today. ie is it keeping the westerly sea breeze at bay. No sign of anything yet.

NZ Thunderstorm Soc · Fri 01/12/2017 15:54

Distant thunder heard in Geraldine to the west. Things really going up now $\:D/$

I believe I'm hearing thunder

NZ Thunderstorm Soc · Fri 01/12/2017 16:46

Just come back from a thunderstorm over Mt. Peel. Pictures later.
Lots of internal cloud to cloud lightning.
Can here the thunder from here and in the Geraldine township.

ME.

Continuous rumbling from there and endless static (Sferics) on the AM radio.

Looking North about 10 minutes ago. Mammatus on the remains of the storm to the NW and another developing to the N.

I wish I could get to Geraldine faster than 2 hours' time! Looks mean on the radar now.

Well if a storm dont come to me, i'll go to you, so i drove 5 kms west to meet the storm in the photo, found the heavy rain shaft, stopped and hopped outa the car then smacked the scab off a can of beer, as soon as i had the first sip a big clap of thunder rolled over head, life doesn't get better than that.

Skywatcher · Unread post by **Skywatcher** » Fri 01/12/2017 17:52

Shot a time-lapse of the storm developing to the NW earlier this afternoon.

....sorry about this, Richard but I think I have "Stolen your Thunder"

Good storm down here, well Mt. Peel of which MS had a SThWarning.
Lots of continuious thunder but no lightning seen but you could hear it in the cloud.
I see on the WTWarning they had it heading towards here but as their is a Santas Parade in town this evening, the storm reverted and went back up the Rangitata Gorge and weakoned.
Nice imagary on the rain radar of the storm.
