SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH

Gareth from Burwood

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH

Issued by MetService at 01:57 pm Saturday 22 December 2018

Valid until 09:00 pm Saturday 22 December 2018

This watch affects people in the following weather forecast districts:

Christchurch

Canterbury Plains

Canterbury High Country



Scattered thunderstorms are expected to spread north through Canterbury this afternoon and evening. There is a risk that some of these thunderstorms could become SEVERE for a time this afternoon and evening, producing localised downpours of 20 to 30mm per hour, large hail of 15 to 25mm diameter and possibly a small tornado.



Rainfall of this intensity can cause surface flooding, slips and hazardous driving conditions, while large hail can cause damage to crops, orchards, vines and glasshouses and also make driving hazardous. If any tornadoes occur, they will only affect very localised areas.
