A severe storm struck parts of the Tasman District before 4pm, and heavy hail blanketed Motueka.
Sand in Golden Bay turned white from the hailstorm, making it look like a winter wonderland.
MetService meteorologist Tuporo  Masters says the place to be today is Southland.
He says it's forecast to be a sunny day in the deep south, Queenstown and on the West Coast.
