During the rugby this morning...

Damn I was up watching the Aus V SA Rugby match this morning, and at around 4.30am saw a large thunderstorm developing over auck city - with a couple of bolts of thunder with lightning.
Unfortunately it drifted south fast, I was really hoping it was gonna be a goodie!!!

You asked my question! Looks

You asked my question! Looks like it might be clear and warmish for the last home game of the season. That would be nice.

At this stage it looks like

At this stage it looks like showers clearing - risk of a heavy downpour though, but showers should clear during the day. We're currently hedging out bets on clear skies... it's a very slow moving system though so sorry we can't be more specific.

Forecast Friday

Fine start to the day this morning. Rain increasing from light this morning to heavy patches & light this afternoon. The ENE wind is blowing strongly in New Lynn. West Auckland.
Not often wrong with forecast Phil- or didn't you do Friday's forecast?

wwadmin on Fri, 20/08/2010 - 15:24

Our forecast said showers

Our forecast said showers turning to patchy rain then easing by evening. Rain got a little heavier than expected (made a clear mistake using "light").

Winds are light for most areas though.

Guest on Thu, 19/08/2010 - 12:15

Showers

If in doubt when forecasting Auckland weather, predicting showers would seem like a pretty safe bet, with near 100% accuracy on any given day somewhere in the Auckland region!

Having the rugby cup in

Having the rugby cup in spring next year will showup Auckland as the laughing stock around the world as for the unsettled weather,think it could have been held in autumn as its not too hot then with much better weather.

Guest on Tue, 17/08/2010 - 21:15

Timeframe

Note that the world cup is now generally held near Sept/Oct, after the general rugby seasons in the southern hemisphere have finished, so NZ wouldn't have had much of an option to change any preset dates from the IRB.
Anyway, Rugby is a winter sport, so who cares?!

I am just curious, what does the humidity % actually mean?
How is it measured?
Cheers.

wwadmin on Fri, 13/08/2010 - 10:50

Hi

Humidity is the amount of moisture or water vapour is the air and on a very wet day it can register 100%.

A hygrometer is a way of measuring humidity and this helps forecasters to see how much fog or cloud formations are going to take place over a certain area.

Hope that's useful and thanks for your question!

Cheers

Absolutely no chance of thunder tomorrow in Auckland I'm afraid - a southerly coming through will clear the skies. Some heavy showers just moving into the city right now though (4:40pm)

wind direction

I notice that another main weather site says Auckland has westerly winds.
How come you can be more accurate with your predictions.
E wind blowing well in New Lynn.
Big difference between W & E :)

"Heavy rain Auckland"

Where's the heavy rain?? I have seen none of it today (maybe because of the fog!)
What are the chances of a thunderstorm on Wednesday or Thursday?

wwadmin on Tue, 03/08/2010 - 23:37

Hi, we ammended our forecast

Hi, we ammended our forecast early this morning to remove heavy rain, predicting drizzly rain with heavier rain setting in either Tuesday night or after midnight/early Wednesday.

We still have a "low" risk of an isolated thunderstorm for Auckland over the next 24 hours but our confidence continues to drop in this area.

Great weather page!

East to understand and with helpful comments....pity its only Auckland though! I live in Christchurch!

Guest on Sat, 31/07/2010 - 19:49

Sunrise times

Nice to see these on here - how about adding sunset time as well?

Guest on Sat, 31/07/2010 - 13:41

Scattered T-Storms predicted on Tuesday evening

Oooo I see you have predicted Scattered Thunderstorms for Tuesday evening.
Everytime I see this prediction, I get all excited, and 95% of the time I am disapointed (I think we have had one thunderstorm this year in Auckland, back in like February/March when it was building over St Heliers way, and fizzled out over to the coromandel)...
There was another t/storm out nw auckland, but didn't hit near the city.
What confidence do you have of storms actually hitting?
Every time I now see the prediction, I give it about a 5% chance of actually happening, considering Metservice can predict thunderstorms up to 50 times a year for Auckland, which eventuate about 2-3 times in total over that period!!!

wwadmin on Sat, 31/07/2010 - 14:27

Hi there, We're all similar

Hi there,

We're all similar to you at WeatherWatch - we all love a good thunderstorm! We are more conservative with our thunderstorm forecasts - at this stage we have fairly low confidence of thunderstorms (about a 30% chance) but that may increase as we get closer to Tuesday. We are confident of thunderstorms in the area and heavy showers - but specific details are still a bit sketchy.
