I went down to North Waikato late afternoon, got a thunderstorm at Merimeri and another at Waiuku on the way home. There looked to be quite a bit of thunderstorm activity along the western coastline of North Waikato.
Saw some nice lightning today and pea size hail in both storms.
A few cloud photos here

It was interesting how Auckland had a fine afternoon, the storms only got as far north as Waiuku.

The storm had some nice linear structure as it approached Waiuku with a good scud bomb as well.
