Monster hailstones in Auckland

Last Friday was a pretty miserable day, and it was raining yet again. Then the hail started, then shortly after the neighbours started throwing rocks at my house.

I stick my head out the window to see what's going on, and it's raining gigantic hailstones (not the neighbours after all).

Super sized hailstone  in Auckland NZ.



This may be a normal sized hailstone in many parts of the world, but it's by far the biggest on I have seen in Auckland. Measuring over 1cm in diameter, and certainly large enough to keep your bourbon cold, there were probably plenty larger than the one I grabbed. Luckily these sized hailstones didn't last that long.
