Weather Forecast for Alexandra

No, you're the first :) The details are all in our Christchurch forecasts. Our news stories and videos have so far said no snow for sea level centres.

Hi there

No not looking likely, perhaps in the ranges behind Porirua however.

Saturday currently looks like a mostly cloudy morning with a shower or two then increasing dry areas into the afternoon with sun breaking through. Moderate winds from the southwest and highs in the high teens.

This forecast will likely change somewhat between now and then as it's 6 days away, to what degree is yet to be seen.

Hope your wedding day goes well either way! :)

WW

Sure is, look at these amazing temperatures! (3:10pm)

Cheers and enjoy :)

Hi there,
You may want to contact MetOcean directly at Weathermap.co.nz as they provide all these marine forecasts/tides. We'll certainly follow up for you. We're looking to expand our marine products within the next 12 months, but a work in progress for a small business like WeatherWatch. MetOcean/Weathermap kindly provides all tide data to WeatherWatch (and they are owned by MetService these days too).

Cheers

Hi there,

At this stage it looks pretty good. We have 2000 NZ forecast locations on our website and app, here's the 10 day (+hourly) forecast for Twizel specifically: www.weatherwatch.co.nz/location/Twizel

Hi there, in New Zealand the tax funded public rain radar can be viewed via the NZ Government's website which is MetService.com. In ALL other western nations on earth we'd be able to display it here for you at no charge but NZ currently has a different set up that places a Government agency ahead of providing the best public weather services.

There will be sunny spells at times but the odd shower about also, it will be like that for today through to Sunday. Monday is the day condtions finally clear up and there is mostly sunny and dry conditions by the looks of things currently. Temperatures throughout the weekend will be in the low twenties.

Hope that helps!

Cheers

Hi there, please see our main Auckland forecasts which include hourly information. The showers over the next few days will be scattered and the heaviest downpours fairly isolated.

Hi there

It's looking much like how we have it forecast on our Auckland forecast page, sunny spells and the risk of isolated showers. The greatest chance of showers being late afternoon / evening. Winds light tending northerly.

It's not really an exact or specific forecast so to speak but the nature of isolated showers means they are quite hit and miss, you may get a few but you may get none.

Hope that helps!

Cheers
Aaron

Hey there Mr R! 

Great to hear from you and thank you for the kind message. I can definitely say that Te Aroha College gave me some strong building blocks. Mr Whitehouse was probably the most influencial on me (due to Geography) but I do remember enjoying your subject (although our actual class was a naughty one from memory!). I hope all is well with you!
Thanks again for the message was really nice to get. 
Cheers

Hi there

Basically how we've got it forecast at the moment, a mix of sun and cloud with the chance of an isolated shower, the risk of a shower is greatest late afternoon / evening but could occur any time. Temperatures in the low to mid twenties.

Hope that helps! :)

Cheers
Aaron

Hi there

That far out I'm not sure anything I tell you now will work out by the time Easter weekend comes around, the pattern looks a little disturbed around then with fronts and rain / wind in the mix, the timing of which I can't say as that'll change between now and then. Keep an eye on the this site and as we get closer to Easter Weekend Phil will talk about it in his videos and bring a bit more detail to the situation.

Cheers
Aaron

Hi Rosie, 

The winds are a bit gusty from the easterly quarter tonight. There is a bit of a pressure gradient between that low to the north (partially made up from excyclone Linda) and the big high to the south east. Should continue for the next day or so then eases back hopefully.

Cheers and thanks for your email :)
Phil.

Hi there, unfortunately there is very limited Southern Ocean data available (or NZ data available for that matter due to our Government forecasters currently being so commercial). This sustem is certainly down in the more rare category for storm systems as not many reach this depth in the Southern Ocean region (although 950s even 940s is fairly common). In the Atlantic storms have been known to drop into the late 800s, which is quite incredible. From what I gather that hasn't happened in the Southern Ocean before - but I may be wrong, I haven't don't much research on it. You may be best to Google it and spend a fair bit of time reading through various sites to get more clarity. It can be quite fascinating to read through the various regional records. 

Cheers

Hi there

Could be a shower or two in the afternoon / evening for northern parts of Auckland, north of the CBD I guess you could say. I can't really be any more specific then that.

Amounts will not be big at all, it's just a patchy shower or two, it could be more dry then wet if anything by the looks of things.

Hope that helps out somewhere! :)

Cheers
Aaron

Hey John,

Too far out to lock in but the general trend for NZ over the next week or so is drier than average. In that week before the 24th it looks as though a very large high will cross the country. Based on the current long range maps I'd say easterlies, some clouds, chance of a shower, otherwise good. All the best for the big day!

Cheers
Phil

Hey Dave, yes definitely a feeling of Autumn in the air although we do still have more humid days in the forecast by the looks of it. A fast change to Autumn this year, just a fast change to summer last year and spring too. Seems to be the pattern we're in at the moment. Looks like a lot of dry weather for NZ next two weeks with plenty of easterlies for northern NZ (and northern NZ like Fiordland are the two regions with the highest chance of rain/downpours/showers next two weeks by the looks of it).

Hi there, take a look at our latest weather video as it addresses this possible rain. It's basically the leftovers of a small tropical storm. May produce a few big downpours here and there - but dry spells in the mix too. Probably won't be able to be more specific until closer to Saturday due to the hit and miss nature of this.

Cheers
WW

Great to hear! Thanks very much for the feedback :) Enjoy your holiday too - hope the weather is playing its part.

We're not sure sorry, especially as MetService is each year given 25 million dollars of tax funding to provide public warnings and services. Because WeatherWatch.co.nz is independent of them we use other global sources for data which allows us to provide more detailed updates and more often. Please write to Minister Megan Woods if you have concerns about MetService and cheers for your support!
