Getting very gusty here now. Had an over 60kmph gust. Not raining very hard at present.

This is our weather station as of 11.20pm in the Waltham Area.

Burnside area. We have had 31mm since 10pm last night. 45mm in total and still raining.

The red warning seems very much overkill for ChCh Central. We get surface flooding out back, thats there but its been worse other times with long term steady rain. While not affecting us, I imagine autumn leaves, despite that its not heavy incessant rain will cause flooding elsewhere

As of now, 50mm here since midnight. 40mm yesterday.

Light rain at present.

Oxford = 110mm today, 115mm yesterday.

Hmmm....

Stuff headline says "worse to come", Windy, Earth Nullschool, and Metservice rain radar suggest otherwise for Chch metro, at least in terms of rainfall.

Agree. Light to medium rain, 1/4 inch in the hour at 6pm. To me, its like a few days of Autumn/Winter rain, as does happen, nothing to see here 

Here's a tweet from NIWA with a good graphic showing where the rain is expected:

Link to NZTA Cant'y road closures:

https://www.journeys.nzta.govt.nz/traffic/regions/11?layers=road-closures

So far only SH73 (Arthur's Pass route) closed between Springfield and Castle Hill and SH79 between Geraldine and Fairlie closed.

I do think that's probably just the start, but we'll see.

I don't know where they're getting their Auckland forecast from - for the last 3 days I've been told it's going to be raining/heavy downpours/hail/windy...but I'm yet to see any of this eventuate.

Apart from a 20 minute light sunshower on Thursday and some rain this morning, it's been sunny the entire time!

How do you feed into Windy? It seems to be a read-only site... they credit Blitzortung so do they take the data from other sites?

@neb you can feed directly into it. I use Cumulus MX as my software which has a section for it.

YadaMe: Just a bit wet out there (Woolley street)

Have you got people in hi-vis jackets in your Street looking at the problem, but not fixing anything?

We have had them here for a while, nothing achieved so far!
