The first image is from MetService and depicts ex-Cyclone Fili nearing Northland at 9.20am on April the 12th, indicating that the first band of heavy rain is likely to visit the East Coast in the next few hours. The second, a satellite image which shows an area of sea to west of Northland and part of Northland from EOSDIS Worldview, shows that masses of aerosol trails were sprayed in parallel on April the 11th. It will be interesting to see what happens to the rain.

The two photos below were taken at about 9am on April the 11th from Clarke’s Homestead in Maunu, Whangarei looking towards the east and west, respectively.
