Bright flash here with 2 seconds to thunder!

Rain here after a fine day 21C.

Radar for the North Shore certainly looks interesting at the moment. Lots of colour!

Just got home in Howick, good thunder to the north west. Eagerly awaiting!

Belting down.. numerous kabooms

The unstable environment is associated with an upper low that cut off from the polar vortex.

..so you reckon, your thunderstorm drought is now over?

Well we had thunder on Saturday too so yes it's over lol. And 2 more days of thunder risk too.

Thunder does sound better than man made fireworks. Lol

Picked up 2mm here today. On a related note... yearly rainfall finally tipped over 700mm yesterday

18mm here

Auckland water storage up to 71.73%, up 4.8 % in the past week. Historical average is 91,58%

5mm very quick mm here, just north of here copped the most intense rainfall in that afternoon cell. That makes 55mm so far, only 2mm more needed for my November average. Tomorrow looking just as unstable, especially south Auckland.

Wow. And apparently a funnel cloud whakatane.

Distant thunder here

The low is wiggling east, now getting a nice north east stream off the gulf. Air temp is 12.5, water temp is 18c.

some good rumbles coming from East Coromandel at the mo, Heading this way. 3rd thunder day. Tomorrow looks good with a clear morning some heating , instability and a Southerly air flow [best setup for viewing/chasing in this area]

Woken by well over a dozen strikes in and around Waikeke between about 12:55am and 1:40am this morning from a very small cell that developed just to the north of here. Didn't get much rain from it here though. And a few more strikes just to our NW between about 5:10am and 5:30am by the looks.

Another thunderstorm in Waihi this morning, rain is just starting to get heavy, rumbling in the distance.
