☀️⚡️LIVE CONTRAST - Youve got to love this snap Canterbury! Live from the Port Hills. Brief storm cells depart to the north, with sun following in behind.

🔎We may still see a few cheeky storm cells until 6pm, with this disturbed south-west flow.

📷All your great snaps and reports below!

In city at 3pm

Sun looks very close today

Do you see it?

From upstairs at Christchurch hospital.

The view from Mairaki Downs... Was impressive watching it go past.

Looking from Oxford towards Rangiora

This was from Scarborough after the first rain cloud went through.

Looking north from the Port Hills

Casebrook after first front went thru

Sunshine and blue skies in Rangiora. Could hear the thunder and see the grey storm clouds but it missed us completely

Just b4 frog rock heading home from Hanmer springs

In Ohoka, put holes through our clearlight, had to cover the car with duvets. Was insane!

Top of Riccarton mall

Getting dark again in burnside

It looks like round two for more with thunder at south new Brighton it’s getting very dark looking

Looks to be a 2nd on its way on metservice

This was in Hornby earlier

Some awesome clouds were building up in south Canterbury also. Didn't come to much. But I could see a few storm cells about.

Bewdy build up just south of Ashburton earlier this afternoon

Woodend

St Albans

Golden light on Gould's road. Followed shortly after by hail

Fun times after the hail storm in Kaiapoi

From Westmorland looking north

Great shot of the lightening the thunder was certainly very loud! Much to my cat’s distress!

Driving on ohoka road into the storm and encountered a mass of birds flying away from it and the next second there was heavy hail. I guess the birds were one step in front of the hail and high tailing it outta there. Very scary driving thru it, the hailstones were exploding when the hit the car and windscreen

I love clouds and today's show didn't dissapoint. 🤍

This photo was looking towards kaiapoi from oxford

Hawarden - hopefully it goes out to sea!

We were very lucky it didn’t spawn any tornadoes

Pegasus minutes ago

Whats it like in kaiapoi?

I wonder what that streak hit. 🤔

Absolutely nufin in Dallington.Lil bit light rain an heard 4 small rumbles thunder.Blue sky n sunny nw

The calm after the storm Parklands Chch Taken 6.05pm tonight

sun and dry hororata

Sun shinning in rangoria

Dry-as-a-bone drought stricken Waipara teased by the spectacular storm cloud... we didn't get rain, yet again 🙄
