Weather Forecast for Alexandra

Hi there

You can find this info out here: http://www.metservice.com/towns-cities/milford-sound

Just scroll down the page for historical information. May isn't over yet also for 2018 so the only figure is for last May in 2017 which was 306mm.

Hope that helps :)

Hey there, thanks for letting us know about this bug! What location is it trying to pull data from (ie, where are you). We do have issues with our Observations network at times and we're about 90% through the process of shifting to a new more reliable system, but we can still make fixes the current old Wunderground network (which we still currently display).

Kind regards and thanks for the kind and supportive words!
Cheers

Hi Nick

I'm not sure of the most efficient way of finding this out but I've found out an indirect method.

When looking at the local station near you on the observation page you'll see a station ID, "ICHRISTC159" for example. If you then use this link:

https://www.wunderground.com/personal-weather-station/dashboard?ID=

and chuck the station ID at the end so the link becomes:

https://www.wunderground.com/personal-weather-station/dashboard?ID=ICHRI...

It will then take you to a page with more information on that station, not all stations have rainfall information but for the ones that do you can play around with the drop down menus and try find out that info.

Hope that helps! :)

G'day Briar

Looks like there should be some sun about with areas of high cloud then mid afternoon areas of mid level cloud will start to thicken and lower.

Have a good one! :)

Aaron

Hi there, no quite the opposite - at least for the first half. We're seeing a lot of high pressure and while some showers around this Sunday and maybe next week on one or two days the general trend is for the first two weeks of May to be much drier than usual. However we can't yet clearly see the second half but some signs are that the sub-tropics will be waking up but over NZ it looks like more high pressure at this stage.

Looking mainly settled on the 7th. Beyond that it starts to get a bit too far into the future. Come back and ask a little closer to the time if possible. Hope your trip goes well otherwise.

Hi there

Looks like there could be some sun break through at times Sunday afternoon onwards although lawns might still be too wet to mow?

Monday looks to be cloudy areas, occasional sun and a few showers at times during the day.

Have a great weekend! :)

Cheers

Hi there, there is a bit of rain around this weekend but also a lot of dry weather too. The rain is intense in one small area (currently forecast to be over Coromandel Peninsula maybe). Assuming you're asking about Auckland, but yes some rain with winds variable (due to the low moving in). Winds don't look overly strong. We'll have full details in our next video out around noon Thursday.

Cheers

Hi there

I'd hope it's reasonably accurate otherwise we wouldn't exist! :D

Saturday looks wet for sure with heavy rain possible for a time, Sunday at this stage is morning showers easing becoming less frequent during the day and sunny spells making an appearance.

Hope that helps :)

Hi Des

Feel free to use our search function on the home page and type in "Taupo". Here's the direct link:

http://www.weatherwatch.co.nz/location/Taupo

As in the forecast it looks dry for most of that time, Saturday is when some wet weather moves in :)

Cheers

Hi there

Sorry couldn't say at the moment what will happen mid next month, being closer to winter you would mostly expect conditions on average to be colder then they are now.

Come back and ask closer to the time if you like :)

Cheers

Hi there, If we all had the exact same forecast there would be no need for competition for us to exist! We don't comment on the accuracy of MetService public forecasts, we only monitor our own. The forecast at this stage for Port Charles area is mostly dry with windy westerlies. Perhaps a shower but that risk currently looks mainly further down towards Thames.

All the best!
WW

Hi Sue

You could use our Auckland forecasts as the winds will be similar. Or type in Whangaparaoa into our search box on the homepage, you'll see forecasted wind speeds for the next 10 days there.

Generally speaking apart from breezy southwesterlies tomorrow winds look moderate from the westerly quarter for the next wee while by the looks of things.

Hope that helps!

Cheers

Hi there, thanks for the challenging question :) Ok, at this stage it looks as though we'll have a big high exiting New Zealand to the east around then and allowing a possible developing rain maker to move in perhaps around the 28th or 29th. It appears it will be all down to the timing of that high and when it departs the country. If the high is a little slow to move on then the dry/sunnier weather lingers longer, if the high zips away quickly then it could be showery or wet. Hope that's somewhat helpful!

Cheers,
Phil D

Most likely Hawkes Bay and Gisborne :)

Metservice has some recent information like that if you click on say "Auckland" for example and scroll down the page you'll see recent information. Beyond that (i.e. older stats) you will have to contact metservice or niwa directly to get that info.

Hope that helps!
