Looks like a classic case of weakens once it gets over land, starts to fire up again once it gets to the gulf. Have had distant thunder to the west and east today but nothing overhead :rolleyes:

Good storm going through Tauranga now. Drove through another good one this morning going to Rotorua. It's very low based, largely embeded CC, occasional CG Noisy stuff.

We'll do our best.
Still cold and claggy down here with the odd spit and SE winds.
Probably better chance for tomorrow as MS have no thunder warning for down here tomorrow :crazy:

Looks like it on the radar, Richard, that where today's thunderstorms may be for the Canterbury area.
The blitz recorded a couple of ground strikes up your way.
Raining here now, quite steady.

Fine for a start off today but it clouded up in the morning with a light southerly blowing. Cloud layers becoming general from then on with clagg and light rain settling in.Southerlies becoming fresh this afternoon.
Rain from 5pm with 8.1mm falling for today. Today's maximum was just 15.9C reached this morning. Not very interesting weather for today.
Tried to keep it away from the cricket.
Darn it. I've just seen a low risk for thunderstorms for Canterbury for tomorrow afternoon. That's tomorrow's chances ruined [-X

A servicing guy came up on Wednesday to work on the station and you can see when he did the work.

As well as being an exceptionally wet November for most places, especially around the North Island, November 2022 also looks likely to be NZ's warmest November on record (for the second consecutive year).

Nov 2022 Climate Anomaly Maps ℅ NIWA.png

Preliminary stats for the main centres:

Code: Select all

Nov 2022 Average Temps, Rainfall, Sunshine and departures from 1981-2010 normals ℅ NIWA

Site                     T-max °C      T-min °C      T-mean °C     Rain mm      Sun hrs

Auckland, Mangere       21.3  +1.9    14.0  +1.2    17.7  +1.6    153  231%    172   89%
Tauranga Aero           21.0  +0.9    13.8  +2.1    17.4  +1.5    182  245%    
Hamilton Aero *         21.3  +1.4    11.7  +2.2    16.5  +1.8    202  226%    180   95%
Wellington, Kelburn     18.6  +2.1    12.3  +2.0    15.5  +2.1    145  148%    230  110%
Christchurch Aero       20.2  +1.3    10.2  +2.2    15.2  +1.7    120  259%    224  100%
Dunedin, Musselburgh    17.2  +1.1    10.2  +1.6    13.7  +1.3     27   48%    207  124%
Greymouth Aero          18.8  +2.3    10.9  +1.5    14.9  +1.9    355  180%    198  118%

* Hamilton sunshine from Ruakura 

And despite a cooler start to December, 2022 could well end up being NZ's warmest year on record (for the second consecutive year), due in part to its warmest winter on record (for the third consecutive year) and 2nd-equal warmest autumn on record.

That's right , I forgot to add 'thunder days', What qualifies as a thunder day?, does a distant rumble like I heard yesterday count

NIWA have confirmed today that November 2022 was indeed NZ’s warmest November on record (topping last year by about 0.1C).
