Metservice was only showing light winds in Q'town at the time. Was it gusts on the approach putting them off or maybe a visibility problem?

Hearing rumbles from that direction

The NW winds finally come through at 3:30pm, but have eased back a bit from now.
Become CB-ish looking and looked as though there may of been a clap of thunder in the dark clouds moving north but nothing heard despte one or 2 sfrerics on the AM radio.
It is clear and sunny again.
Here's a photo I took today looking up along the inland foothills

from the Geraldine Downs this afternoon.
I did notice that the Doppler at Rakaia was out of action for a brief period this afternoon.

Heavy showers and a gusty westerly change at 1445 dropped the temperature from 20C to 13C in 7 minutes . Blizortung showed lightning in Foveaux Strait nothing at Thornbury . Quite nice outside as I type this at 1830 hours .Still windy though

[NZ Thunderstorm Soc]

Wind has dropped away here.
Blue dome sky above now fading away as the sun has set.
Might as well be 1030hPa, instead of the current reading of 984.9hPa

[Richard]

Still very windy here. Had a intense rainbow out to the east this evening
