Few convergence showers in Auckland this afternoon. Moderate rain at the moment in Parnell and it feels really cold outside! Would guess around 8 degrees

Funnel cloud observed just to the south of here in Mairangi bay, filmed it and took some pics too. Crappy quality but will upload later when Im home from work...it looked to have dissipated as of ten mins ago, but it may return as conditions are favourable.

Yeah, they were weird. It hit the windscreen with a distinct heavy splat, and on the road looked like they hit and left a smear of ice rather than bouncing like regular hail.
