Great to see those towers inland today something we've lacked the last few years is inland heat showers and storms.
Looks to be currently inland heat showers and thunderstorms on Wednesday and Thursday this week for Te Wai Pounamu, and again Sunday spreading through the plains and coast simular set up to yesterday.
A very active season finally, I need to bring my enthusiasm back for chasing .

Nice sunny day this morning and this afternoon with some Cu development to the west this afternoon but sadly, lower, mid range stratus moved across from the west and covered viewing of Cu towers to the west. This cloud cover gradually moved over and covered the sky later on this afternoon with light SE winds developing. Cloud cover into the evening with some light rain from around 10pm.
Today's maximum was 21.4C
Were there any thunderstorms around? MS kept on forecasting them right up to 10pm, when it was obvious nothing was going to happen from about 4pm. EDIT: I see they have financially adjusted it, I mean finally adjusted the forecast.

Should see some towers go up south of Auckland this afternoon but only very isolated thunderstorm activity with it. Wednesday looking more active for thundestorms south of Auckland at this stage.

Back to the clagg today

Bright sunny day in Lincoln, moderate NE breeze. Very pleasant

Sadly, a day of clagg today, all day with an easterly wind.
Today's maximum was just 14C,
4.7mm of drizzle/light rain overnight.

Incoming moisture from today and upper level cooling from tomorrow bring a heavy shower/thunder risk to NZ over coming days from tomorrow, particularly in the afternoons.

It has been a good Spring here for growing. Mild with rain at the right times. I see vege prices are coming down.

In terms of outright quantity yes, but relative to regional normals, no.

Looking west today.

Thunder heard to the north, no no mucho but thunder never the less

Mucho thunder now, nothing like last Saturday though
Not bad considering we are in a no risk area today

Is there anything happening up north today?
MS putting an 's' their forecasts for thunderstorm activity today and tomorrow.
Should be better tomorrow?

A lovely day here. Had a swim at lunch time, mostly sunny 23C.

Check out this pic. Not what I was expecting to see when I opened the weather station panel this evening!

A day of high cloud and light SE. Maximum of 24.3C from sunshine in hazy skies.
Some weak Cu forms along the foothills.
Not quite lightning and thunder potential for today but might be more so tomorrow.

Golly, what are they after?
Haven't seen an ant for years here. Hardly any snails either. And the crickets are tiny.

Currently overcast, 14.4°C, light air, south-easterly. Could do with rain.

The storm activity today will be focused abit better than yesterday and about west of the eastern foothills, I'd expect a few heavy showers through the plains after 7pm.
The weekend looks very unstable after the welcome rain pushes through, Saturday afternoon looks good for thunderstorms and also Sunday afternoon evening.
Simular set up to last Saturday actually with a west to east storm movement, upper air is the same so hail would be around 20mm maximum.
Saturday would be more localised downpours.

That would be a great location for an ant nest, nice and dry, can see there's a lot of larva.

Hopefully an interesting day coming up. just need this high cloud to clear

A rather boring day today as what was forecasted with constant cloudy skies and clagg especially later in the afternoon and evening.
Today's maximum was 21.4C in humid conditions this morning.
0.2mm of rain this evening from forecasted showers, some "Heavy"

Heavy rain watch for the Canterbury Plains issued by MS.
