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

Fine but overcast with E wind most of the day but seems to be tending more SE in the last hour or so.  One burst of rain at approx 13:30 - 14:00, with 2.4mm in the gague.  Nothing since.  just enought to bring a premature end to the Ohauiti Annual Cricket match.

High Hourly Rainfall   2.4 mm   at 14:04

We are getting pummelled by Easterlies gusting to 35km/h and the rain gauge is now showing almost 24mm since midnight.  Interestingly, this is about double the amount that Alan's station in Kerikeri is showing.  It's quite common for rain distribution to be very localised around the Bay of Islands, but our Baro and Outdoor Temp. usually track very closely; within 0.1 hPa or 0.2 - 0.3 degC most of the time.
