A large low over New Zealand is bringing pockets of rough spring weather with thunderstorms, hailstorms, big downpours, flooding, wintry temperatures and spectacular sunshine.

Our Twitter page (@WeatherWatchNZ) has been especially busy this week with your photos and videos of the weather as it tracks through.

Similar conditions are forecast for Wednesday and maybe into Thursday for some too. Another large low coming this weekend and into next week will likely bring similar weather conditions with our mountains and ranges helping to create stark differences from region to region.

Thanks for the photos, keep them coming! Here’s just 10 of the dozens we’ve received recently.

Day started with some big thunderheads brewing that didn’t amount to anything but finally the brooding skies over the Southern Hunua’s have begun to open. @WeatherWatchNZ @weatherbom @PhilipDuncan pic.twitter.com/Ztmhn8iRG1
