A bit cold overnight but it warmed up to become 21.1C this afternoon with NW winds blowing for much of the day. There even one or lulls in the wind with at one time and a hint of a southerly come up.
Winds becoming strong this evening but not as gusty here as what it was like on Friday morning.
A mainly fine day even through to evening but now it is clouding over from the west with the occasional flash of lightning in the cloud to the west. Some rumbles of distant thunder heard late this evening. Mild temperatures this evening with it being around 17C at 10pm.

Yes. I heard a distant roll of thunder on the cloud line north of the Rangitata River this afternoon and that was it.
Skies clearing now. Been NE here but a very cold wind.

Interesting day here weather-wise with thunderstorms rolling off the mountains in the early hours of this morning, with 8mm of rain falling.
In some ways this was quite good as they did ease off the NW winds that had been blowing on Sunday evening.
Remaining cloudy with mixed cloud forms during the day with a few unstable forms.
Cold NE wind this afternoon which kept the daytime max at 14.4C.
Late southerly through at 10.40pm with some drizzle.

Moist air, some daytime heating and upper level cooling being modelled for Thursday for the upper North Island. This will bring the chance of some thunderstorms but have to see how it looks on the day.

MS have mentioned possible small tornado tomorrow in the thunderstorm outlook.
Hopefully I can chase anything local.
