hey team fun thunderstorms yesterday round auckland. 3 lots of it in my area takanini yesterday!!!! but missed most of the heaviest rain. 26mm for yesterday.

Carla on 4/12/2025 10:15pm

And in Whangarei we had 5mm since Monday! Certainly very hard to forecast.
Thanks for all the good work this year Phil, I hope you have some quiet holiday weeks before we get into cyclone season 🙂

Jon on 3/12/2025 2:56am

Hey I just want to say thank you. I’ve been constantly amazed at how accurate modern weather forecasting is. I appreciate the regular updates you make, and I like the way your forecasting is presented here better than other weather apps/pages. Kudos!

WW Forecast Team on 3/12/2025 3:40am

Hi Jon, thank you very much for the kind comment. While 100% accuracy is still a thing for well in the future on this planet, it’s uplifting to get a comment like yours. I’m personally always blown away (no pun intended!!) when modelling can pick a storm 2 weeks away when it hasn’t even started to form yet.
Thanks again,
Phil D

Just wondering why Metservice reported that 43mm fell in an hour in Matamata around midday, but WW is only showing 13mm accumulated for the whole day so far. Why the discrepancy? Thanks.

WW Forecast Team on 3/12/2025 3:39am

Because most weather stations aren’t in the same place. If a downpour hit the MetService station but not our one, that is why.
We are working closer with MetService and expect them to eventually start sharing public data with us in the future so we can show even more weather stations. But remember a weather station is just one dot in someone’s garden or building – it’s not the entire town.

Also, if you look at the rain radar today you will see how messy/lumpy the downpours are.

Hope that helps!
Cheers
– WW

Makes sense. Cheers Phil.

No worries Aaron.
