Weather Forecast for Auckland

A cold snap on Monday may put snow on the hills but looks too mild for anything significant lower down. So probably low chances.

Hi there

Is a little far out at this stage, could you come back in a week and ask then perhaps? Either way hope you have a great trip! :)

Hi there, the best place to be for sunniest weather will be east of any main ranges... so Bay of Plenty rather than Waikato if you're heading south of Auckland. We have plenty of low cloud next day or two around the western side. Next week is a similar pattern with plenty of west to south west winds it will make regions like Bay of Plenty and Gisborne much sunnier than western areas like Auckland and Waikato.

Hi there, at this stage it's looking dry. Keep up to date with NZTA before setting out. Click here for the latest Arthur's Pass forecast.

Kind regards,

Hi there, at this stage there's a moderate/40% chance of fog in the Auckland region on Friday morning.
Kind regards,
WW

Hi there

No snow due in Chch for the foreseeable future. If it looks like coming we'll include it in our Christchurch forecasts.

Cheers, Aaron 

Good morning :)
Next Monday looks windy over the North Island and Hawke's Bay so fog doesn't look likely.
Kind regards
WW

Hi there

For the most part fog isn't looking likely, a small chance perhaps but mostly no.

Cheers

Hi there

At this stage no, no chance at all :)

Hi there, forecasts aren't 100% accurate anywhere on earth and in NZ we face lots of challenges (including a lack of open data from our Government). A shower can hit one street but not the street over. Your taxes already fund NIWA and MetService weather forecasts, we're an entirely free service and, while not perfect, we believe we bring strong competition to them and more accurate forecasts overall. But, if they are a better alternatives for Weymouth then use them, especially as you are already paying for their forecasts via taxes.

Kind regards
WW

Hi there, some chance but we'd currently say only about a 20% chance of anything widespread. 
Cheers

Hi there Suzanna. Unfortunately NZ is the only country in the western world where the two Government agencies (MetService and NIWA) are given tax funding to provide data but won't share that data in true free open terms. So we can't provide you with an easy answer (as we could do if we lived in say Australia, Canada, USA, UK, Japan, South Africa etc). The good news is that an independent Government MBIE review (released in January) says NZ is the most expensive in the world for weather data and has the most restrictions to access data we have all collectively tax funded. So for now the best way for you to do this is go to NIWA.co.nz and access (and sign up to) our collective historical data via "CliFlo". Hopefully no change for what you're doing but NIWA places a lot of limits on "the people's data" - hence the review. If any issues with costs or accessibility please contact Minister Megan Woods (Minister that oversees NIWA and is currently reviewing their restrictive data measures so anything extra she hears will be helpful at freeing this all up for the good of all NZers).

Kind regards and all the best,
Philip Duncan

Hi there, we are soon upgrading all personal and public weather stations but because the NZ Government taxes us all collectively twice to gather current observations but then is the only country in the western world to not share that data back, it means we have to personally invest in improving things. We are currently doing that and looking for help in the private sector due to this Government again stalling on any action since the completion of the independent MBIE review a year and half ago which said NZ is at the extreme end (costwise) to access data we all help fund.

We hope to have clearer locations and the ability to select other location observations and current conditions later this year.

Cheers

Hi there

Depends where you live. There are frost forecasting services out there but they are usually the domain of large scale growers and will cost. Any service with pin point accuracy may cost when it comes down to it. You can use the search function on our home page, type in your location and it'll give you an idea of what temperatures may do. Or use the maps function here: http://www.weatherwatch.co.nz/forecast-maps/temperature

Flick through the various times and zoom in etc into your location, that might help. While those maps are good sometimes overnight lows can spread towards coastal areas a bit more then you may expect, the maps can smooth temps out a bit sometimes. There are various factors involved in that.

Anyway, hope that helps!

Being the lowest of the passes over the Southern Alps (564m) the chances are less but provided its cold enough and there is plenty of moisture then it could get snowed in.

Cheers
Aaron

Hi there

No, big thunderstorms are not looking very likely at this stage although there could be a rumble or two. Gales not all that likely either however there is a chance winds may gust to gale at times tomorrow afternoon, otherwise all good

Hasn't been cold enough. Weather patterns haven't suited it and so forth.

:D

Aaron

Tuesday morning has the best chance, the temperatures just don't look cold enough for sea level snow right at the moment however.

Cheers
WW

No worries! :)

The air looks cold enough for some snow around then but moisture doesn't look very high, may only be a few flurries. Might be something you have to judge more the day before you go rather than at the moment.

Safe travels!

Aaron

Hi there

Ahh I don't think so.

Enjoy your trip! :)

Aaron

That could depend on where you are travelling from. But in any case, the weather on the 21st / 22nd for Christchurch looks sunny and calm, no snow to speak of. There may be a light frost in the mornings but that's it.

Enjoy your trip! :)

Cheers
