Awesome Auckland Thunderstorm
A great Thunderstorm over Auckland tonight. I was at a Xmas Function but managed to get away for 10 mins and took these photos from Mt Eden.

Last nights thunderstorm was interesting in that it seemed to be a persistent slow moving line which become noticeable about 8pm to the south and finally crossing Auckland nearer 10pm with a deluge of hail.
Lightning was infrequent, about every 1-2minutes, but some of the CG's were impressive.
And more weakish storms this morning with 1cm hail stones in Grey Lynn and a couple of CG's observed.

Great stuff Spwill!!!! Good composition to. I like the blue colour coming from the lightning which is great where as the stuff I took has a more grey/pink look to it, I would've prefered if I got a blue colour to mine. I guess it's something to do with the rain falling??? Or the fact it was over land rather than water?
Good hail to! That's a nice Cb on the sat pic for Auckland this morning, just awsome!

Nice photos chaps
Yes it looked as though the thunderstorm was the same one that went through Pleasant Point near Timaru on Friday and what Steven photographed/filmed that night.
Again the storm didn't come over Christchurch.
THe sfricals were really going to town on Friday night but I was otherwize engaged
The in-laws have gone back to Wellington now so now bring on the storms.
They weren't really impressed with the weather here saying that they might of well stayed back home in England...but nevermind.
