It’s actually quite warm indoors in Auckland tonight on 29 September, it’s quite reminiscent of summer! The only difference is that there would be more forecasted rain coming along the way for the week.

I’m not sure if it’s normally this warm and humid at this time of the year (temperatures reached 21 C at its highest point and 15 C at its lowest point).

Whats the wind gusts for the 29th at 11am

Carla on 28/09/2025 8:12pm

Depends where you live I guess 🙂

Does the Tauranga webpage forecast apply only to Tauranga region/west BOP.

WW Forecast Team on 24/09/2025 9:53pm

Hi Stewart, the Tauranga page is specific to Tauranga city itself. We have forecasts for every town, village and suburb in Bay of Plenty. Most won’t be too different but you’ll notice some variations over time, especially from west to east.

hey ww team is the high to the east a good factor in the atmospheric river lingering around the north island for two days this week?

WW Forecast Team on 24/09/2025 12:11am

Hey Josh, I think that term is ridiculously over used by the Government forecasters – some patchy rain moving through slowly today, clearing tomorrow.

Hello, I was wondering why in quite a few recent hourly forecasts (specifically rural weather) there has been something along the lines of “0% chance of 21.9mm rain”. The quantities vary of course, but what does 0% chance mean, if there is a forecasted rain amount…? Thanks in advance for the explanation. We are WW fans and have been for quite a few years now! 🙂

WW Forecast Team on 20/09/2025 1:05am

Hi Mustang, thanks for the support 🙂 When that occurs it means the rain is coming after midnight. The way we get our data feeds means that overnight rain (after midnight) can display in the total rainfall. 0% chance of rain is because rain isn’t likely during the day (6am to 6pm). We are hoping to clarify this better at some point in the future.
Cheers
– WW
