The current storm has passed. Space Weather Live only reckons up to a KP4. Not worth going out if you're in Dunedin. I only go out if it's a 6 or above. The good thing about last night was the new moon :)

Tomorrow seems like a copy of today in terms of setup. Too much cloud cover. A bit of instability but marginal lift.

Storms likely to collapse very quickly with lack of upper steer, but could get some good core dumps non the less.

Suns out a bit more today which should hopefully increase the instability, but key will be the early stuff doesn't hinder the later forming convection.

Cloudy overnight and this morning but clearing away from lunchtime to become another fine blue dome afternoon.
Moderate NE for a while this afternoon. 18.6C for today.
Might be some thunderstorm activity up North Canterbury/ inland Marlborough tomorrow afternoon? Keep your eyes out Richard. :D

It was nice to hear thunder yesterday. Watched a nice Cg lightning show over Coatesville yesterday evening.
Photo of Cb over east Auckland late yesterday afternoon.

A nice day coming up for Auckland, perhaps a late shower on the convergence.

Was the best thunder in a while here yesterday, very loud rumbles, some only 3 to 5 seconds after the flash, though there was very little rain to go with it.

23.8C with dewpoint around 18 currently, feels like summer is starting early this year.

I think that someone had left an irrigation system going, on and around the rain-gauge at RPA at Levels, Timaru
19.2mm in 2 hours in totally fine clear conditions? :-w :-s <3

due to the warm and humid day (21c) but relatively still cold ocean temperature (17C)
Ps I was in Waiuku yesterday afternoon and we had a nice thundestorm too :)

A few weak Cu 'fists' going up around 4 Peaks/Mt. Peel but no guts or pregnancy.
I see they have switched the irrigators off around the rain gauge at Timaru airport just after 2pm.
22.3mm there today in fine conditions. Must be a record. :rolleyes:
There is a term for rainfall out of a clear sky but I can't think of it at the moment :-k
