Re: Thunder and Lightning just passed
I was at Coatesville just north of Auckland this afternoon and there was a downpour just after 3pm with 1cm sized hail stones mixed in with the rain and one rumble of thunder.

Must be a bleak (but interesting with the storms) day in the Waikato, with Hamilton on an icy 5C at 3pm.

Hasn't turned out to be much again, just the odd brief shower around
Re: Thunder and Lightning just passed
Looking at the maps after this most of it headed up Coromandel and away. It's going to be a cold night again. Some of the hail is still hanging around and the sky's are getting clear.
