Over the past few months, has the inner AKL region experienced more severe weather, specifically thunderstorms, than in comparable months in previous years? Judging by the number of severe thunderstorm warnings issued by Metservice and the number of alerts via my mobile it would seem so? Or are they just playing it safe ito of predictions? You guys are definitely the go-to for weather info. Thank you!

Hi Helen, yes there has been an uptick in severe weather/thunderstorms/downpours in Auckland lately (and Northland and other parts of northern NZ in particular). That has been due to a series of both low pressure areas around the north of NZ, but mainly due to very powerful anticyclones to the east of NZ dragging down sub-tropical air. This set-up often causes this weather but we don’t always get this set-up every year, hence why it’s noticeable now. Autumn, Winter and Spring can all produce a lot of thundery weather when more tropical air is mixed into the NZ area. Thanks for the support of what we do 🙂

Interesting Wellington is forecast for 30mm of rain tomorrow, yet the latest MetService forecast shows much less than that (closer to 10). No rain warning which i’d expect for 30mm

Hi;
Just wondering… my area (Bankside) is showing a 0% chance of rain but with 8.2ml being forecast. Later this week on Thursday. How should I interpret that? It seems a contradiction?
Cheers,

Hi Blake, if you match/check that with the hourly rainfall graphs it will makem more sense. Usually when that happens it means a dry day, but rain overnight. Rain is expected late at night/overninght Thursday going into Friday. The one single percentage we show for the entire day is during daylight hours up to 7pm.
Cheers,

Hi WW;
Thanks for getting back to me. That makes sense. The WW day is basically 7am – 7pm?

hey phillip. a significent rain event for cantubury!!! and metservice and their civil defence are being slack. apparently no emergency alerts for them yet? local state of emergency for selwyn yes. but impacts across the region. so not just aucjklands civil defence but their one is useless too. you done a good job with the sub tropical lows/ex cyclone last few weeks Phillip. you were the only one that warned of the ex cyclone tam thunderstorm for auckland. no civil alert for that till 12 hours later. but you pointed out the risk 4 days beforehand. great job. hope those in Canterbury and wellington are ok. April has been wild.
