No worries, Brian
Registered users will have to change the time offset in their profile when we put the clocks back this weekend but that's not too big a hassle
Even 3mm would be welcome rain down here. Just 15.2mm for February and 0.8mm so far this month - it was wet when I was in ChCh on Saturday morning but dry out here !
Cheers,
Steven

see the barometer jump, that was actualy around moon rise, surprisingly...(coincidence?) ....but ...local thunderstorm activity was probably a better explanation....
I see ECMWF has a TC just passing to the east of NZ over the weekend.....
will be interesting

You need to use the "BBCode" buttons for embedding images, URLs, etc - I think it's to avoid the possibility of confusing the HTML. You just highlight the text and click to add the square bracketed tags:

humm, that image is an old one!
LOL
i will try again...
this current low:
it looked to me like a jet stream activiated it....more...
you could see the tell tale thin arching cloud line.....that speared it....overnight...and cauased the clouds to cool more.....or something like that....
and it moved south enough to get the rain into the auckland area....it has been raining lots in the bay of islands to kaitia area for the prevoius 2 days......
i would have hated to be a met service foreaster....
i think more visual ground reports and more fine tuning of the forecast (i.e showers norht of albany,and isolated further south), would have, in hinsight (such a wonderful thing) been better.
35mm was recorded at Bryndwern today....(mid nothland, south of whangerei), and 16mm there yesterday...
some hefty cb;s in sydney too today.,,...
TC: time will tell....if it moves enough SW like it is at the moment...
hey, it might be another Bola, who knows.
time will telll....

yup, thats the one, yeah, half way to howick, but at central as we have online...
we are nearly up to 100mm here now too, 98.2mm
so this will be a missed 100mm in 24 hour weather warning event, as at 3:30pm (through to 4:30) yesterday we had had only 3mm for the day
so, 5mm more and it will be 100mm in 24 hours
one of the heaviest rainfalls in years

From memory, the wettest day for Auckland city was 165mm recorded about January 1984. But you are correct Brian, we rarely exceed 100mm in 24hours.
The heaviest fall i know of in the Auckland region is the 122mm in one
hour at Leigh back in 2000. Many years ago I drove into a phenomenal
storm at Whenuapai....the Met Service guage there recorded 156mm
in 3 hours, a nearby farm guage recorded over 250mm.

I remember hitting some almighty wall of water on the Southern MWay about 1986ish. Motorway traffic was actually stopped both ways down near Ramarama for 1 to 2 minutes as the visibility dropped to 10m and three inches of water on the road that appeared instantly! I know it was about three inch as my mate hopped out of the car and it went over the top of his shoes. LOL!
Then about 11 years ago we stopped at Orewa on the way back north for a walk on the beach when the temperature started going down, and down... until it was absolutely freezing, Fortunately we got back in the car before this black mass of large hail and howling gales hit us! One serious Cb.
Unfortunately, I wasn't a chaser then so didn't pay that much attention to them. Had I been weather-wise then - I would be rapt ...and single
