October Spring Stormy Blast 11th to 13th

[NZ Thunderstorm Soc]

Could be an event to look forward to with lots of lightning along the Alps and cold weather to follow.

[Awhituobs]

not really looking forward to it here, cold squally SW wind showers
luckily do have some firewood left over

Don't think this event will come to much except for some snow in the back country?

20-40 of rain and some decent snow down to 500 metres are my thoughts

Certainly an active front this morning accross Canterbury, steady rain since pre dawn, blustery at times with a couple of torrential falls interspersed with hail in the last half hour. Red in the radar too

I see decent snowfalls through the Mackenzie too

Southerly front is getting close to cook strait now. This is it from lower hutt.

The front was pretty weak here overnight, 9mm of light rain.

Wind seems to be winding up earlier than planned. I see there is now an Orange Warning for Banks Peninsula. Looks a nasty spring stinger.

The wind is certainly picking up in Ashburton at the moment. Rain has stopped but still overcast and very gusty.

Interesting. We had the opposite. It was a strong front. Strong wind and light rain then it changed to strong wind and very heavy rain. Cows and I were not fans being caught in it this morning.

Only light to moderate winds here, 1.8mm of rain and some weak sunshine, certainly not warm though with only 9deg

[Thunder081]

The S/SW wind change is moving over Wellington harbor but slower than most fronts and most of the rain is in the wairapapa but that could change for northern parts of Wellington.

Very strong to near gale southerly in Akaroa today with rain, and a bit of hail about midday. Can't see any snow, but higher hills are covered in cloud.

[Andy]

25mm of welcome rain here in Alex and and good coating of snow on all hills to around 350-500m, clearing today but cold.

[Awhituobs]

woa that is a big amount of rain for you
16mm here with an early morning front and 100kmh gusts with that heavy period of rain
i know what that is like Jamie, getting caught in conditions like that

[NZ Thunderstorm Soc]

Snow to 400m here overnight,
Here's some M Peel /4 Peaks shots.

Wind on and off in Lyttelton this evening, some hefty gusts coming through with the rain showers.

[Razor]

Certainly wild and wooly here in Christchurch. Heavy rain at times and a blustery wind. Le Bons Bay has recorded 130km and I gather the power is out in Little River from treefall

[JP.]

Wild and wet for sure. SW gusting 63kph and a wind chill of 0c. 10mm of rain so far this morning

Howling gales and driving rain on and off overnight and this morning in Akaroa, but power still on. Temperature about 6C.

[Richard]

The rain is really only making it as far north as Waipara this morning, had 2.2mm over the last two days. Can even see the sun through the thin cloud this morning
