0.8mm for us in Coatesville. We need rain not just for the paddocks but also for the water tanks. Badly.

We received the disappointing grand total of 0.2mm rain during that brief thundery outburst!
Other places closer to the Port Hills received from 3 – 5mm, with Sumner just under 5mm, the further west you went you got little or missed out, it seems!
Anycase we got plenty of water here for the garden! 8 – D

6mm overnight at Whangaparaoa
