Sorry to reply to my own post, but for some reason I couldn't find an edit button on my above post. :)

Just found that on the front page of the website I linked that there is a video of the damage done.

here it is:

Well, what a cold day.

I cannot remember such cold weather in November. Is this science or personal bias? Not sure. But Christchurch Airport fell to -2.6C a few nights ago which may be a November record.

Wellington today awoke to a chilly but sunny morning after some overnight rain/graupel. An overnight minimum of 5C is cold, but not outrageous. A high of 13C followed. Then a thunderstorm rolled in and the temperature bottomed out. We fell to 7C at 3PM, which is horrendously cold.

Metservice's severe convection forecaster, who lives in the Wairarapa says "temperature here fell from 13C to 5C in 10-15 minutes or so".

Bloody horrible.

Roll on tomorrow, sunny but cool.

Roll on sunday, sunny with temperatures back to normal and maybe a bit above.

Roll on monday which also looks nice.

After last week's unseasonable cold, things are quite different now. Mild weather returned yesterday and it doesn't look like making an exit anytime soon.

Currently having to deal with a cold front pushing hard up the country but running into a brick wall high.

Band of mid level moisture lies straddled across central NZ.

Improvements from tomorrow, persistent mid latitude high pressure belt wants to hang around for quite a while yet. In fact the charts look very summery indeed.

Humid air encroaches on the North Island as the week progresses. Easterlies develop over the Auckland and Northland regions, keeping them in a muggy subtropical kind of pattern.

Drizzle will likely be a feature of the weather but also warm with highs of 24C-26C for inland areas, and there's bound to be some fine spells too.

Muggy conditions today and mostly overcast. High of 17C with dewpoints at 16C. Tomorrow potentially a 20C+ day, depending on how quickly we can clear the low morning cloud.

Central Otago, after last weeks hard frosts and snow is back into the heat again. 27C recorded today in Alexandra. Computer forecasts going for 33C tomorrow for them, but official forecast going for 31C tomorrow and 32C the day after.

Pretty flipping hot, that's for sure!

Wellington now into UVI 10 territory, with UVI 12 starting to encroach on Northland.

Muggy weather again. The high to our east has been stationary and in combination the low near NSW has not been moving much at all.

This has put NZ into a large warm sector and it's been hanging around for days.

Nothing wants to go anywhere quickly, and so we have more and more waves of warm air pushing down over us. Along with these there is lots of humidity, making it unusually soggy for Spring (usually this sort of thing happens in Autumn). Another warm front moves onto the country today. Plenty more on the way.

Highest temperatures of 26C in Hastings at 11AM this morning.

Disturbing to see Wellington get such a high UV dose on Friday. UVI 12 already?!

And the situation:

This has been stationary for so long now (since Friday) that it's had plenty of time to bring down air from reasonably deep into the tropics.
