Re: General August Weather
Looks like a lengthy spell of settled weather is arriving for the majority of the South Island. Great chance to slowly start drying out

Re: General August Weather
Yeah, some flashes bigger than others. Also heard some distant rumbles.
Seems to have settled down a bit now.

Re: General August Weather
A sort of a wintry day with wintry showers this afternoon and this evening. Not as good as in the old days when I used to enjoy lying in the bath and hearing the hail on the roof. Today's maximum was 7.9C with 8.4mm of rain and other sorts of precipitation.
Cold winds between SW and East.

Re: General August Weather
Those T-storms north of Auckland lasted off and on until about midnight.
Then got woken up about 2:30am by about 20 minutes of thunder north of Waiheke.

Yeah, was wondering why MS never issued any real time warnings with that amount of activity?

Re: General August Weather
Yes, Great Barrier Island in the firing line for heavy showers and thunderstorms currently.
See what can over land this afternoon, moisture /instability sitting between Auckland and Whangarei.
