18mm in 2 and a half hours out of this morning's rain, to go with the 13mm we got yesterday. Unusual for North Canterbury to get so much rain ahead of the cold change.

And yesterday's rainfall yielded more out near the coast than here, that is unusual from spillover rain

This is the activity moving up the coast towards Banks Peninsula at the moment.

A nice upper cold system over the SI and lower NI today.

Nothing to report from here, the quietest May I can remember.

Strong upper cold trough moving up the south island today. Chance of thunder/hail with second band moving up.

Local chatter has damage to shop windows in Cambridge town centre and one person trapped in car under fallen tree from that line.

Stormy-looking sky to north-west and west here at the moment;
some lower-level clouds drifting south to north;
sunny, 9.9°C
Just looks 'odd' somehow.

Heavy hail shower moving over atm

As this event is significant, maybe a separate thread is required for record purposes, especially as that woman, sadly, passed away in Cambridge and those lovely old oaks in Levin got a hammering.
