Have picked up 5mm of mostly light to moderate rain here this morning - hoping we can get some further good totals today ahead of the upcoming dry spell... ground can take a bit more yet :)

If we want lightning this afternoon the skies need to clear up a bit with decent surface heating.

Tomorrow looks like the system is in departure mode with thunder risk east of Huntly.

Looks like there was a good storm over Waiheke Island earlier this morning, about 1.30am, according to lightning data.

Sun is coming out here no thunder here during the night but given that storm early Monday morning I'm not surprised. Hopefully More storms this afternoon.

Today's outlook from MS…
MetService Thunderstorm Outlook

Issued at 8:08am Tuesday 10 Nov 2020
Valid to Midnight Tuesday 10 Nov 2020

A low is moving slowly east across the upper North Island today, with cold air in the upper atmosphere. There is a low risk of thunderstorms over the North Island today, however the risk of thunderstorms is considered moderate to high, from the Tararua Range to the central North Island, and northwards to Auckland and Gisborne as depicted on the chart.

These thunderstorms may produce localised rainfall rates of 10 to 25 mm/h and possible hail.

No thunderstorms or significant convection expected over the remainder of New Zealand.

More cloud and cooler locally than yesterday but the afternoon convergence might be better than yesterday with the southwester pushing in later.

Yep heard that in the hustle and bustle of the CBD, really loud.

17mm in Howick today and looks to be clearing from the east now.

Glad I caught that before leaving for Howick, which misses out again. Just light rain in the CBD, action seems just west of the city
