And we have Thunder now

That's one thing I thought could be the problem today.. is this crappy low cloud.
Will be interesting if that acts as a lid on things inland as we really need it to disappear.
Tomorrow looks better, and wensday in Canterbury with a Southerly change.

Yes a disappointing day... had 6mm light/moderate rain early morning in Howick and since then just a single brief light shower at 2pm. Sun not making much of an appearance.

Saw that CG out the office window. Sounds like none of the affected are too serious luckily.

Sun has made a break thru in Christchurch, although any action should be amongst the foothills today. Chance it may drift this far.

Not mine but from Facebook, Tangimoana Beach in the Manawatu yestreday!

NZ Thunderstorm Soc · Mon 03/12/2018 16:20

Starting to look a wee bit interesting here.

The sun came out for a while and boosted the temperature up to 23C.
High DP @ 17C at the moment, with 60% humidity.

A storm is now firing up behind Mt Somers

Radar shows why...some red in there all right

Just heard flight NZ5655, Christchurch to Queenstown, fly over: it seems to have deviated from its usual route, to avoid the thunderstorms, judging by its track on FlightRadar.

I notice a couple of PWS in Featherston recorded 70-90mm within a 2 hour period yesterday afternoon. e.g. https://www.wunderground.com/personal-w ... 202/mdaily

Good for you. Thunder here but to the NW over the hills

NZ Thunderstorm Soc · Mon 03/12/2018 17:28

4 more claps but seemed to have suddenly stop as how it began, moving SW from from Mt. Peel area.
Looking bleak to the 4 Peaks area.

NZ Thunderstorm Soc · Mon 03/12/2018 17:41

Good thunderstorm now in 4 Peaks area. Good dumps of thunder

This cell is what has grown from my last photo and has started to produce thunder

I’ve had 25mm today now. This rainfall the past week has been amazing. 52mm for the month of December already.

Just come back from a chase behind Geraldine to a thunderstorm which came back to haunt the Mt. Peel area.
Will put up photos later

Meanwhile there's been drizzle and low cloud in Akaroa for all yesterday and most of today. (dry but still cloudy now)
