Deep Low to Impact NZ... AGAIN (24th to 28th Nov)

[GraemeWi]

Getting thunder now in Swanson, dark to the north

[David]

Freshening NE probably means activity won't make it this side of the city

[Richard]

Increasing rain/drizzle periods in the last hour

[ricky]

240mm/hr rain rate recorded here in grey lynn at 2:19pm, 22mm so far from this..

Nice that's quite a downpour! Looks like it has died away significantly as it has moved east. Only a quick 3mm reported at St Heliers... probably even less here

Some promising signs on the radar for some decent rain down here soon... also i'm already sick of no sun and we still have 5 days left haha

There are heavy showers and isolated storms occurring on the line as it moves east, hit and miss who gets the heaviest rain.
Looking from One Tree Hill earlier.

The storm dumped 22mm in about half an hour here.

Looking like the warmest town in NZ today was Whangarei on 24C.

Hokitika was warmer than that on 24.6C. Good Ol' West Coast

Westport was on 25.4 degrees earlier on when I looked on Metservice town page.

[spwill]

Oamaru on 10.7C currently might be the coolest

[Captain Salty]

Milford Sounds 25 not shown as the current hottest on the national/home page? Instead Hokitika on 24.8

[einzack]

Oamaru on 10.7C currently might be the coolest

And Dunedin might be the "boringest" with 12°C ALL day.

[NZ Thunderstorm Soc]

A bit like that here with the temeprature on the 14C mark for much of the day, although it did suddenly heat up to 15C on one odd occasion
I see Hoki nearly up to 26C

[melja]

Just got back from a weekend over there, SE wind so the same effect as our NW in Canterbury.

Looks likely that there was a thunderstorm in the Buller region east of Westport today?

A PWS at Paramoremo on the North Shore Auckland recorded 47mm in that convergence line this afternoon. Another few more mm here gives a 2 day total of 33mm. I did a snap shot of all the main models on yesterday’s 23/11 12Z run for my location, for a forecast vs Actual comparison to see who is performing well at the moment. Here was the result

42 hours 1am Saturday to 7pm Sunday on the 23112018 12Z – Actual 33mm

Forecast -
UK 60 to 70mm
EC 50 to 60mm
CMC 40 to 50mm
MS local model 41mm
BoM 30 to 40mm (Access R)
GFS 20 to 25mm
Icon 20 to 25mm

Congrats to the BoM’s Access R model

A good benchmark month for November wetness over much of Canterbury was November 1952 (which was wet over a substantial portion of NZ). An easterly storm 25th-27th caused heavy rain from Wairoa to Kaikoura. Sample Canterbury monthly totals - Timaru Gardens 223mm, Ashburton 257mm, Island Hills 254mm. It was also a very dull month for Canterbury, especially in the south, so not good for farming.

A brother in Dunedin says it is the worst November in Dunedin he can remember.

It is the worst November in Christchurch I can remember too.
