Yeah, pretty uninteresting today, a rather pitiful 3mm of showers.

yeah metservice gave today moderate. but only light drizzles. tuesday might of been the only thunderstorms day this month. lets see tommorow as another front moves in.

Tomorrow's thunder chances are aimed at Taranaki in the morning with a possible severe squall there 100km/h.

May typically gives Auckland a couple of thunder days, probably after mid May. We want to see the polar jet stream move into the North Tasman.

We had a good shower in the 5-5.30pm window (didn't note actual time). Just a squall line coming through kind of thing, no high winds or lightning seen/thunder heard scenario. Was a good one though, would guesstimate peak rain rate at about 30-mm/hr.

Heavy rain and surface flooding in Levin about 30 mins ago

Steady rain here, and I think I might have just heard distant thunder

Will be very heavy soon looking at the radar

Razor · Unread post by **Razor** » Mon 29/04/2019 09:28

Looks to be a half decent low forming on the radar off the Canty coast?

First wild weather in Levin for ages, was really hoping for a thunderstorm and it almost happened but oh well at least there was some action

Thunder081 · Unread post by **Thunder081** » Mon 29/04/2019 11:52

Starting to see some heavy showers coming in from the west so there's still a possibility of a thunderstorm or two!

Most decent rain in a while here, radar looks like we are getting a good solid soaking next few hours

Yes, it seems to be moving further north from here, now.
Had 33.1mm since this morning, easing off a little now. Still overcast and grey but not that windy as i thought it may have been. Been light West to SW here.

Razor · Unread post by **Razor** » Mon 29/04/2019 15:22

Just did the school run, its west coast style rain here in Halswell, some of the heaviest I have seen in ChCh!

The westerly action is well north of Wellington city as is typical for that scenario. All change when the southerly arrives.

Razor · Unread post by **Razor** » Mon 29/04/2019 16:26

Wildly windy, bust be gusting over 100km here I reckon

Very little wind here also infact its completly calm here at the moment. More rain than I expected though with 24mm for the event.

That's the windiest weather I have been in since I moved to Christchurch 6 years ago, easily 90-100kmh gusts here in Woolston, sheets of corrugated iron flying around everywhere and branches littering the streets

Thunder081 · Unread post by **Thunder081** » Mon 29/04/2019 16:57

North of Levin now

TonyT · Unread post by **TonyT** » Mon 29/04/2019 17:01

MS reported a gust of 159 km/h at Le Bons Bay as the southerly went through.

Thunder081 · Unread post by **Thunder081** » Mon 29/04/2019 17:33

The southerly front is getting closer to Wellington. This is the Lyall Bay live stream that this picture is from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiH7_P0EOLc

A number of power outages around Chch and the Peninsula. Itsbeen a big blowout that's for sure, along long time since I've seen wind this strong at home.
