Unread post by David »

Rain rate up to 97mm/hr here just before. Rain bands look quite broken up on radar but certainly some heavy falls around.

Over 130mm for me now in Flat Bush Auckland. Was at work all day and didn't realise how much had fallen until I checked the station. Quite surprising.

I'm overseas at the moment, my wx station in Hobsonville Point is at 318mm with a peak rate of 146mm/hr. Insane numbers not sure if it is functioning correctly, the anemometer crapped out earlier. Station is exposed to the north / east / south. Wish I had a webcam to check if anyone was on a ladder pouring jugs of water into it!
