Nothing here in Tokoroa so far but there might be something more for the SI and Canterbury tomorrow evening... 1800 NZST 25 June

Looks cold and wet for everyone but for the SI - nasty!!

Surprisingly clear skies outside right now 23:30 stars over most of the sky, moon is up, but clouds towards the west and lightning strikes every three minutes around Mt Pirongia west and sw of Hamilton. Temp 2.0 and heading colder.

We had a few pops and crackles early Tuesday evening- plently of hail and quick temperature drops - I saw 4.7 degrees on my non standard setup. Winds dropped right off though.
