hi guys does nelson have a chance of going to drought this summer or are we doing ok for rainfall?

WW Forecast Team on 5/02/2026 7:16am

You’ve had more rain than usual – so you’re fine. https://niwa.co.nz/climate-and-weather/daily-climate-maps

Phil I realise that the forecast for Waharoa is auto generated but when I did CPL MET exams I learnt that we are unlikely to get fog with breezy winds.

WW Forecast Team on 5/02/2026 12:39am

Hi Christoper – take a look at our fog graphs here, as it breaks down the specific risk times and only generates when winds are below 8km/h. https://www.ruralweather.co.nz/forecasts/Waharoa,%20Waikato Note: Fog messaging can also be for low cloud just above the ground.
Cheers
Phil
