We’ve been exclusively sent video of lightning sprites seen over NZ, possibly a NZ first to have them captured on video. We explain what they are.

Heavy rain is on the way for Tasman region with over 100mm possible in the next 24 to 48 hours.

Sunday has a colder change moving into southern NZ, meaning Monday kicks off cooler nationwide.

Our thanks to Brett at stormchasers300 on YouTube for sharing the red sprites video with us!
