Report your rainfall throughout the Day here either in Millimeters or just the conditions. You do not need a Weather Station to do this.

11:05  Been raining on and off overnight, quite steady from the NE at the moment, currently 17.8C with 99% humidity but only 2.1 mm rain since Mignight, just updated to 2.4mm as I type and the rain has eased off again.  Barometer has been in stady decline for the last 2 - 3 days, 1030 to 1009 in the last 48 hours.

12:15  Looks like we are on the back of the front.  Sudden 49km Wind gust from N & then 55 km from NW and it is bucketing down.  Rain is now up to 4.5mm, current Rain rate 7.2, Humidity 99%

12:30  The front has passed.  Rain has stooped (5.4mm), sky is blue (Some clouds the other side of Kaimai's & some retreating to the SE), Sun is out, Humidity has dropped, Wind has dropped to around 7km and swung to W/SW.  Barometer is still falling but the Temp at 18.2 is going up.
