Same here. The heavy rain was supposed to start from 3pm. 4.5mm from overnight rain.

Yeah only 4mm here, rain has got heavier in the last 30mins though.

Looks like a reasonably fine day at Tekapo on the webcam with no sign of any low level snow.

So to all the media who say mini tornadoes well here is a mini cyclone!



P.S. There is no mini *weather thing* but this looks cool the only other similar low I've seen like this is the remains of ex fehi that moved from the top of the south island then onto the upper north island.

I drove through New Brighton at 7pm and 9:30pm, it was worse earlier on but really just a bit of surface flooding along New Brighton Road. Some very heavy bursts of rain, then easing to nothing.
