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!

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 🙄

Great photo

Driving back from Hanmer to Christchurch late this afternoon

Was an awesome storm! Captured this in Northwood

After the storm passed 🌈♥️ Parklands Chch

Why couldn’t you predict that? All you mentioned this morning is the possible snow to low levels next week

Huge pebbles just fell out of the sky! I was half expecting some smashed car windows.. (Kaiapoi here)

Just north east of Ashburton 10mins ago looking east

This is news because?

My view from Oxford, once we got home and had already experienced the thunder, lightning and hail in town.

Beautiful sunset as the second wave missed us at Waikuku Beach

Amberley beach

At Woodend Church

View from Sefton as it went past

We had some dark clouds, two thunder claps and now sunshine. A bit disappointing really. Sydenham..

Looking North towards Ravenswood -Pegasus

Jessons rd ground was white

A bit of rain in Lincoln

Wow. Kaiapoi... Woodend... Ravenswood... and I've still got washing out in Rangiora. It's like a weather bubble out here! 🤦🏼‍♀️

Blew right over Hoon hay with no hail and hardly any rain. Blue sky and sunny again now 😱

Was dramatic in Kaiapoi !

Photo was taken in Clarkville/Eyreton

Was awful driving to the airport! I thought the windscreen was going to crack.

Missed us altogether

Wow in Woodend

Was amazing in Pegasus, hopefully another coming our way

Really loud on a caravan roof in Kaiapoi

View heading back towards chch from Ashburton
