Passing heavy showers in Waharoa.

Wow, the rain and the wind were so strong yesterday in Auckland. I just watched the board on our fences fly from the strength of the wind. Downpours were incredibly strong as well.

Kat on 28/10/2025 6:37am

WOW, at 7:34pm, tonight Hamilton West got hit witha very squally storm. Sideways rain and all.

josh on 27/10/2025 9:14pm

hey phil. that was a active night in Auckland. thunder/lightning and heavy rain/downpours. snow in Canterbury from the sounds of it. when will this active relentless pattern end?

are we in for a late summer?

WW Forecast Team on 28/10/2025 2:39am

Hey Josh, our ClimateWatch video is out on Friday and we expect to see some spring pattern continuing on into December. Will have a better idea end of the week (and going into mid November).

Hey the station IHASTI143 always seems to have highly inaccurate wind readings. Is it in a sheltered spot?

WW Forecast Team on 26/10/2025 7:54am

Hi Chris, often the town/city locations don’t have good wind data due to fences, buildings or simply the station not set in a good location. We’re working with MetService to get better wind and rainfall observations from the data already owned by the NZ Government and hope to be able to display that later in 2026.

Mikayla on 22/10/2025 6:25pm

It looks like the wind is going to be quite severe in Palmerston North for today (23rd October) – will there be any warnings issued?

WW Forecast Team on 22/10/2025 8:22pm

Will be blustery – a warning is always possible but the worst of the winds should be east and south of PN.
Cheers
