"Horrendous" hail and heavy thunderstorms have hit Auckland and drivers are being cautioned to take extra care.
Photos, taken by people commuting home, show buckets of hail at Sunnynook bus station on Auckland's North Shore.
Only a few people can be seen taken taking cover, while the road next to the busway is covered in hail.
MetService is expecting the hailstorm to last for at least the next hour.
The New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) has also reported heavy patches of rain across the Auckland Motorway system this afternoon.
