Pictures say a thousand words. From sunsets to sunrises, storms, waterspouts, tornadoes, gales, downpours, king tides, earthquakes and bush fire smoke. 2020 saw some amazing moments captured around the Hauraki Gulf. Thanks to everyone who shared their moments.
Happy new year from Hauraki Gulf Weather.
