Kia ora WW,

After an incredibly hot summer, Auckland seems to be having late April weather in March. Any chance of some of that warmth making a comeback or are we in for a longer and cooler autumn/winter this year?

Ngā mihi,

Ben

Hi guys I have a dairy farm in tutamoe 45 k northwest of dargaville which has a very different climate to dargaville. The only weather forecaster that gives a specific forecaste for tutamoe is yr and I as wondering if you could provide one. I know there is a weather station there

WW Forecast Team on 12/03/2024 9:46pm

Hi Ken, if you download our new app it has a “Find my location” GPS button on it, so it will find your forecast. With our websites it depends on your browser settings – but it will show your closest forecast based on specific place names on general maps. So, a quick google of Tutamoe comes up as a park and not a specific single location – which may be why you can’t search for it. Our forecast data is for specific named locations such as Maropiu, Mamaranui, Pakotai, etc – which all come up. The data for all these nearby places will be identical to near identical.

Let us know if you need more assistance.

Your forecast is wrong for New Plymouth as we have had showers light steady rain on and off for most of the morning in central city area.

WW Forecast Team on 7/03/2024 10:22pm

Hi Ray, thanks for the feedback. Take a look at our video today – it explains what “anticyclonic gloom” is, and why it can bring unexpected light showers to the western NI overnight and in the mornings.

Cheers
WW

A wee bit coming out of the sky now 😀

Terry Davies on 29/02/2024 3:35am

Hi Guys, can you explain why we are getting so much cloud in Christchurch, even when we are supposed to get clear skies it still is cloudy. Today was forecast clear skies this afternoon and evening but after 1 hour of clear skies it is already clouding over again. Thanks

WW Forecast Team on 29/02/2024 4:07am

Hi Terry, high pressure is crossing the South Island today and sometimes than can bring ‘anticyclonic gloom’ and stubborn cloudy areas – and at this time of year low cloud/fog/mist too. Nor’Easters with high pressure can bring that perfect recipe for cloud that won’t burn off in eastern NZ. In Wellington that NE flow can curve around as a Sou’Easter and bring fog over the airport while the rest of the city is sunny and cloud free.
Cheers
– WW
