You may have been woken by the rain or thunder this morning, but the cold might be keeping you on your toes later this week.
The Bay of Plenty region was pelted by between 10mm and 20mm of rain last night between midnight and 7am.
In that same time period, Te Puke had 16.2mm and Rotorua had 16.4mm.
And if the rain did not wake you, the thunder may have, particularly in the north of the region with 22 lightning strikes recorded.
Although most of the strikes were offshore, there was one recorded between Te Puke and Tauranga, one more northeast of Lake Rotorua and several to the west of Auckland.
