Where has all this rain gone? Don’t think we will get half of what was forecast yesterday.

There was a lot of thunderstorm activity north and west of Northland overnight but it has died down to very isolated activity.
We will have a day in Auckland similar to yesterday with a change to partly cloudy skies coming sometime in the afternoon and dry by evening. Looks like some heavy showers will develop behind the incoming rain band this afternoon.

Wont be surprised if we stay dry most of the day again. Same as yesterday

Apart from one solid 10 min shower yesterday it was also day here, but at the moment its drizzling rather heavily.

Another nice Southland day. Fine etc.Expect an easterly later

14mm here so far. light rain currently. 216mm in the last 30 days.

The EU showing a convergence line from Hauraki Gulf to Hamilton this afternoon.

Reflectivity at 4pm.

I hope that convergence eventuates

We need the sun out.

1.6mm for Greylynn, see what can develop the rest of the day, east of here better placed.

I see Tauranga is getting heavy falls

I fail to understand how Metservice can still be saying rain with heavy falls for Christchurch today. The radar is showing nothing apart from patchy drizzle.

Yes , one contradicts the other, rainfall rates are no more than drizzle.

A little sunshine here now, 20C

Radar showing ever so slight signs of moisture increase now...

Sun in and out currently 21c with a DP of 19c. Baro 996.4 and falling. Only another 3 mm making it 29mm so far. Front slowing moving down toward Auckland, water vapour has increased in the mid levels over the Hauraki Gulf and central NZ in the last 30 min. Increased water vapour in the mid levels moving down towards the SI to help saturate the easterly feed.

2nd Tasman low around 150 km SW of where models projected it on the 2311 12Z yesterday. That slight move took projected heavy rainfall for the upper NI west and east. Fujiwhara effect now in place with the new surface low now taking energy away from the original Tasman cyclone. The new low should be consumed again within the next 24 hours, reinvigorating the mother low which needs to be closely watched for Tuesday into Wednesday for the NI. A 3rd new small circulation forms near Gisborne later on today as well.

I'd call it steady drizzle occasionally here right now. Could rack up a few mm's after all

Rain starting in earnest now, looks like the opposite to a southwest flow with the showers streaming from the northeast. The wind is picking up as well, not that it totally died off from yesterday. Just got out to do a cheeky bit of gardening before that.

Staying cloudy here but I see some heavy showers are developing north of Auckland and moving down

Overcast with a breezy NE now. 11.1mm of drizzly/light rain since last night.
Even though humidity up, it hasn't rained for a while yet, thank goodness.
Over 200mm for the month here now.

Warmer west Ak, 23C in sunny weather there now with a towering cumulus line, showers trying to develop

Photo of Cb development just west of here.

Some lightning detected NW Auckland.

Looking west from here,a solid line of heavy showers out west now.

Have visuals of CGs from northhead looking NW
