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.

Looking unstable to the east from here

Southerly through here now. Really chucking it down. Good line of red on the radar, could get thunderstormic as it moves north?

Looks like the low is forming over South Westland atm

Watching as it approaches on the radar

Had to pick the young fella from work,on the way home he took this shot of a cell passing over Culverden with his fancy iphone, no rumbles heard from it but must have been close

^ Beaut shot there, Richard.

Rain begins...

edit to add: with fine hail/graupel rubbish in it.

All over now with 10mm from the downpour. Looks black to the north now witht he sun shining on it.

Just had a heavy shower through Grey Lynn and appeared to be some wet hail in it.

Reports of some very heavy rain/ flooding in Chch eastern suburbs. I'd imagine Banks Peninsula is copping it too looking at the radar

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.

Intermittently heavy rain in Akaroa this evening.

Just 0.5mm overnight here, windy tho.

Yes of everyone Metservice probably did the best job with predicting this event

Next to no snow in the Canterbury high country it seems

Still wet in Akaroa. Fresh snow on the hills above about 550m.

Got some small hail here.

2 rounds of hail here in the last hour

Yup Mt Hutt pretty much looking the same as yesterday. They will be disappointed

20mm of rain for us

No snow inland from here either, looks like a light skiff to the north though at about 800-900m

Equinoctial gales starting to fire up across Auckland. Multiple PWS 100 km/h + gusts on the west coast. 88 km/h gust on the North Shore not long ago.
