Three low pressure zones look to bring rain into very dry parts of NZ over the coming days and week…

The weatherwatch ‘day’ starts at 7am and finishes at the same time the following day. A 24 hour period.
Are you satisfied that this best meets the needs of your viewers?
It’s confusing somewhat I feel. I could look at Thursday for example and there’s no rain predicted… when in fact there might be a strong possibilty of rain on Thursday between 0000 and 0700. But you’ve accounted for that rain on Wednesday. It’s just not correct. A civil/calendar day would be better in my opinion.
Cheers,
Blake

Hi Blake, that is the way the data is delivered to us and currently we don’t have a work around for it. Visit RuralWeather.co.nz or download our app for clearer rain graphs.
Kind regards,

7am is a start of the day ,after a night of sleep. I think the 7am to 7 am day is good practical solution.
It shows overnight rain etc as part of that night, not rain to midnight then rain to 7 am, so you don’t have to add two figures together to get the overnight forecasted rain.
In the olden days before computerisation to weather day was 9 am to 9 am, so the met staff could do their reading during the working day.

Yeah, I agree, I like it like that too. Most of the time I want to know what is happening when I’m going to be outside working, not asleep in bed. I check out the hourly breakdown for a closer look if I want to know more.

Hi, there is a lot of noise on social media and news sites about the El Nino this year. Maybe you could do a video with the facts as they are known as of now?

Hi Colin, we will do next week 🙂
