Well, that was nice.
Wellington was hit by thunder, lightning and hail after a sudden storm broke over the city this afternoon. The thunder was right overhead and incredibly LOUD and the hail was thunderous. Then it sleeted and rained.
A crispy frost is now forming for tomorrow. Has been snow down to sea level in the South Island, with vineyards there using helicopters overnight to prevent frost settling and attacking the young shoots and leaves.
Is Summer next month!
Up in Tauranga the parents are already eating strawberries from their garden, so I guess there is some hope............
And tomorrow I'll just crunch through the frost and any ice to the polling station, ready to make my 2 ORANGE ticks. At least it will be sunny, no rain, light winds, just a bit nippy.

Welcome to the northern hemisphere.
Yes Gomad, it seems to have slipped a bit!
That's quite some spring weather. Glad to hear that puss is fine too.
The weather has been 'different' all year here and around the globe judging by the blogs I've read. Whether you agree with global warming or not, something is very definitely changing.
