hi team, it would appear that
Thornbury (IRIVER58)
is reading incorrectly, has been for a couple of weeks so does not look like it will correct itself this time as it has in the past.

Hi;
Iโm wondering, is there anywhere on your page that โtime stampsโ your current forecasts? By this I mean when the forecast was generated. On some of your competitors websites it clearly states a time, itโs useful for me (or anyone who checks forecasts several times a day) to see how old the forecast is, and if youโre accessing a website several times in a day and you can see clearly on the home page that the most recent forecast is the same as few hours ago then it saves time delving a few clicks deeper only to realise it hasnโt changed from earlier. Cheers,

Hi Blake, All our forecasts update each and every hour. This is especially helpful on the day when things are changing locally here in NZ. Hourly updates arenโt so important for forecasts a week out (as they are mostly fuelled by global models which update 2 to 4 times a day).
Hope that helps

Got a definite feeling of snow in Dunedin, feels very still tonight, no wind around and very silent. got a good feeling the rain forecast will turn to snow

hi phillip and ww team. had a โthunderstorm โ last night with torrential rain. 63mm recorded at my place in takanini. no lightning but as you and metservice says. it was about intense rain which was what happened last night.
just a reminder today is Thursday the 5th of June so you donโt get the date wrong in todays video.

MetService had issued an Orange Warning for Auckland, with forecast rain of 92mm, with peak rates of 28mm/hr. But the hourly trends in WeatherWatch show 7mm/hr rates and total accumulations of just around 30mm. Who is more accurate and why is there so much difference? Not only this situation but many times I have seen this happening.

Hi there, if we were all the same there would be no need for competition. The world would use one single source. Think of weather data as like ingredients โ WeatherWatch and MetService use those ingredients to create our forecasts, and like two different restaurants we produce a different product (even if similar). MetService is warning of thunderstorms for those downpours โ thundery downpours can โbreakโ any rain forecast and thatโs what MetService is singling out here with their tax funded warnings/watches. The forecasts we have at WeatherWatch are generally the most accurate for rainfall in NZ (and globally our data source is the most accurate via The Weather Company) โ but what MetService is warning of is something we have also said this weekโฆ ie, thunsderstorms/heavy downpours may โbreakโ what is forecast and give you much higher totals in some pockets. Official MetService warnings need to cover all bases due to the nature of protect people.
One stalled downpour can give someone 100mm, while someone very nearby only gets 20mm. Some downpours โ isolated ones โ are almost entirely impossible to forecast very much in advance if they are developing over the top of us โ so the warnings from MetService cover the possibility of one forming.
Put simply: Use our forecast data as the baseline โ and use MetService on top of that to help work out where severe weather may cause further issues/higher totals. Then track it all on rain radar to verify.
Hope that makes sense.
