The first part of the week’s weather on the Range was influenced by a large slow moving high in the Tasman Sea bringing south-westerly winds and temperatures in the mid-twenties. On Wednesday a surface trough moved in over the Ranges. This brought atmospheric instability and a thunderstorm at 2.30 pm. The 8mm of rainfall was heavy, and at one time measured a fall-rate of 182 mm per hour. During the thunderstorm there were wind gusts of 20 knot winds. On Sunday a new high moved in to the southern Tasman Sea bringing south-easterly winds and some maritime showers over the coast and into the hinterland.
