ACT's Emergency Services Agency responded to six calls for help on Thursday night as storms ravaged the city.
An ACT ESA spokesman said the calls came from across the ACT in Thrawa, Charnwood, Evatt, Garran, Bonython and Ngunnawal.
Calls included reports of leaking roofs and fallen trees.
Dr Helen Reid from the Bureau of Meteorology said the storm predominantly affected southern areas of the ACT.
She said Tidbinbilla recorded 84mm of rainfall while the city recorded 30mm.
At Lake Burley Griffin only 10mm of rain was recorded, and only 11mm was recorded at Canberra Airport.
She said the rain only lasted for a few hours.
Dr Reid said Friday would be cloudy with a potential of storms in the afternoon.
"It's not as likely to see a warning [on Friday], but I would not rule it out entirely," she said.
She said humid and warm conditions would continue through Friday which could lead to thunderstorm development.
Dr Reid said thunderstorms would be less likely on Saturday, and Sunday would be wet and much cooler.
ACT ESA has advised Canberrans to take care during wet weather conditions.
During storm conditions, ACT ESA recommends staying indoors, moving cars under cover and away from trees, and securing loose items around your house.
The agency said Canberrans should keep clear of creeks and storm drains and never drive, ride or walk through floodwater.
