A freak hailstorm this morning left up to 30mm of hail on
the ground in parts of Miramar and on the Wellington airport
runway. The hailstorm led to the closure of the Wellington
Airport till around 10am. The following images were taken by
Wellington resident Chas Plewinski and show Chas’s trip into
town. Thanks heaps Chas!
