Good morning Weather Watch. Tell me, is it possible to see the ‘by date’, 24hr minimum and maximum temps in Auckland over the past 30 days or so? I sure would be interested please.

WW Forecast Team on 14/08/2025 9:25pm

Hi Philip, we’d love to be able to do that but sadly in New Zealand the Government has allowed both public weather agencies (Niwa and MetService) to convert historical data into a commercial product. So unlike Australia, Canada, USA, UK etc – where historical data is ‘freely open and available” for anyone/everyone to use, in NZ those two Government Agencies won’t allow us to freely share that information – you’ll need to go to MetService or Niwa to get that data. In other nations it would be freely found across dozens of public and private websites/apps for the good of the public. Very sorry we can’t help!

Okay, understood, but that’s crazy, though. Every man, woman, and child is affected daily by the temperatures they experience around them. To not be able to ‘freely and openly’ access what can be regarded as recent, everyday information is nonsense. I’ll get myself my own thermometer and notepad…cheers.

there seems to be a trough at the moment over the north island. showers developed in south auckland yesterday and a downpour west of auckland looking at the radar?

hi phill and weather watch what does the setup need to be for nelson city to get snow? prob a stupid question because the ranges block the southerly but i thought il ask anyway

WW Forecast Team on 11/08/2025 10:37pm

Hey Jet, it does snow in Nelson although extremely rarely due to the reasons you mention – the mountains surround you and block the moisture when it’s a southerly. Last time it snowed in Nelson was in August 2011 (in fact I think it was Aug 14th from memory) and that event brought heavy sea level snow as far north as Wellington and some snow (that briefly settled) around both Auckland and Northland – so that was a very rare (one in a 30+ year) event.

Cheers 🙂
