it looks like it has caught a bit of energy boost (divergence) from the sub tropical jet passing by to the north
but as that moves out to the east it should weaken again

Whangarei recorded 43.8mm in 2 hours yesterday evening, Whangaparaoa 42.6mm within 2hrs yesterday morning, MS.

I got plenty plenty of lightning photos Sunday night but only flashes in the clouds, I have a quite limited view of the sky from my carport.
