We’ve received some amazing photos this week across both islands and across (and even over) the Tasman.

Take a look at our favourite photos sent in by WeatherWatch.co.nz readers this week.

Image of the Week…

We thought this was the best image of the week – sent in by Shannon Wilcox of Sydney

---

Runner up was this fantastic photo sent in by Mandeno Moments of a heavy downpour in Auckland on Thursday.  It’s always hard capturing a downpour in a still photo but we think this does the job nicely.

---

The dust storm really took the headlines this week and this shot gave New Zealand readers a unique view of the dust storm from above it – by Brad Heap.

---

Staying with the dust storm and this eerie photo was taken by CH DAVIS-NZ from Coopers Beach in the Far North.

---

The true essence of Spring – a thunderstorm developing in Canterbury by John Gaul.

---

Hard to believe it’s spring when you see snow falling just 5 minutes from Palmerston North.  Image / Jemma Wells.

---

And finally and unusual photo sent in by Debbie Zillwood showing swarms of mosquitoes around the tops of the gum tree.  The warmth and increased humidity lately will see more and more mosquitoes coming to life.
