I expect that there will be some sunshine, with the odd rainy day here and there. Expect some nor’westers at some point. That’s about as specific as anyone will be able to be from three months away, because this is a weather forecasting site and not your local spirit medium.

What are the reasons for the weather maps looking messier than usual now? (I.e. powerful highs, deep lows, shallow lows, unusually-shaped lows, ‘improperly’ shaped highs, etc.). We already know that the reason for the wide variety of weather systems from subtropical lows to deep Southern Ocean storms is that we get this due to the NEUTRAL ENSO phase + slight La Niña indications; is this the only reason or it’s something to do with the ‘normal’ messy winter weather pattern?

Hi there, this is basically quite normal around August/September to see some of our messiest weather systems. High pressure is usually at its most powerful, as too is the polar air to our south – now throw in longer sunshine hours on top of it all and it’s a chaotic mess. Around October to November NZ often gets more into a traditional westerly flow with a bit more uniform pattern to the chaos (although every year is unique).

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.

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.

Hi Philip, Yes it is frustrating. Try https://www.wunderground.com/wundermap and on the map legend click the radio bar for temperature/wind. it will show some personal weather stations…zoom in to the region you want and more personal weather stations will pop up. Nowadays these weather stations are just as accurate as the Met official ones. Click on the personal weather station and up pops more detail and its history. If it looks strange (rare) move to the next nearest one…enjoy.
PS Weatherwatch is a great weather site, thank you to Phil and his team

But aren’t they public funded?
