More volatile weather's on the way for the north of the country.

There are weather watches in force for several areas laden with gales, thunder and lightning.

It follows a dramatic afternoon in the north.

A man was killed by a falling tree in Tinopai, on the Kaipara Harbour, while a bolt of lightning struck Dargaville Hospital, blowing out windows in the maternity ward.

There were three car crashes on Auckland's northern motorway - and a man died in hospital after being hit by a truck in the central city around six.

International flights were diverted and some domestic ones had short delays coming into Auckland as the thunderstorms struck the city.
