Heavy rain/hail mix here.

Blitzortung misses a lot of lightning.

Are there better lightning tracker sites out there ? TV seems to have often massive amount of strikes while blitzortung shows bigger all.

Frequent short sharp showers seems to be the order of the day here... even some tiny hailstones in the last one. Only 9C currently

The blitzortung is a great url but you have to keep in mind it does not catch all the lightning, particularly the IC.

Seems to be mainly constrained to the west of the region, as is often the case in colder setups like these

Does Christchurch and immediate surrounds have the most boring weather in New Zealand ( although in some ways this is probably good ). This current wintry blast consisted of one hail shower then sun. We don’t get heavy rain, thunderstorms largely disappear off the coast, NW gales seem to slow down at the city boundary, snow - not seen for years, although we do get the odd hot day in summer. Dramatic weather is very rare.

Yes, as I said in other postings, my neighbour was out mowing his lawns this morning. 8-o :eek:
With this event we were quite sheltered. I went to Timaru today and noticed the wintry stuff was well out to sea. Not much snow along the foothills, despite the weather page in this morning's Timaru Herald showing a sleety symbol for Geraldine.

A particularly wintry 24 hrs here, down to 8C at times yesterday with hail showers, the clearance coming through early evening allowing for cooling and widespread light frost this morning.

We had some strong squalls yesterday in Swanson, each dropped the temperature 2-4 degrees when they hit. Once the cloud cleared in the evening the temperature fell really quickly. 1.4° just before sun-rise this morning. Too dark when I left for work to see any frost

Down to 2.5c here this morning. Being close to the water, that is about as cold as it ever gets.
