In New Zealand in the South Island in Oamaru we have had 100.3 mm of rain in the last 48 hours.

Midday Thursday it began to rain and continued well into Friday, here on Great Barrier Island. The rain gauge overflowed at 120mm. I had emptied and scrubbed the water tank Thursday morning and by Friday morning it was full again. How much rain? Enough. It’s been a dry summer.

Nothing here in West Melton although there were a few thundery looking Cb’s about.
Barometric surface pressure too high, sadly.

we also got 90mm in total, here on the west coast south of the Waitakere ranges

the front lay from here (and south), up over the waitakere ranges and then curved more NE up to Wellsford area (and the south Kaipara )
and was slow moving for 12 hours!
eastern auckland area and south auckland area missed alot of the rain

Noooo.. east coast auckland got hammered, check out the data for torbay I posted earlier.. or check wunderground and see the other east coast auckland weather stations.. seems we got more than you guys?

Dave on 21/05/2010 8:02pm

but isnt torbay north auckland?

eastern areas did miss out on a lot of it, here in Howick the 24 hour total was just over 40mm.

Ahh yes , good point… I was just thinking east and I’m right on the east coast but yes I am north too (duh). The furthest north you can be in urban auckland in fact.

Interesting to see the difference though just in the urban area..
