Weather Forecast for Dunedin

Will see how November pans out but for some regions yes an early summer is possible. The lower South Island is less likely though.

You're in luck. This coming weekend looks great for Dunedin, highs in the mid to late 20's, coastal northeasterlies but just inland winds from the west or northwest. Till then (Thu and Fri) it's a little cooler with temperatures in the mid teens.

Hi there

The 9th and 10th is a little while away, but currently the 9th is showing a few showers and the 10th is mainly dry. Perhaps 5 to 6 days out we'll have a better idea as to what will happen.

Keep an eye on these maps here: http://www.weathermap.co.nz/forecast-maps

That will show you what is coming up, use the "Maps then rain" option.

Cheers

Nelson looks mainly dry on the 5th going by current information, showers move in later in the evening or overnight as a front closes in.

Keep an eye on these maps: https://www.weatherwatch.co.nz/forecast-maps/rain

They'll show you where the rain is and where it's going too! :)

Today's a bit of an odd set up, not really a main southerly pushing through but a developing situation where showers are starting to form here and there. Best way for you to track these changes is through our HOURLY forecasts, these are updated every 15 minutes and truly track the precise movements of fronts, wind speeds and direction, and shows via % of rain the most likely times for wet weather.

Cheers!

Hi there, reliable forecasts only go out about 10 days so ask us again next Wednesday. At this stage the set up around that time may be high pressure north of NZ and mild westerlies blowing in many regions.

Hi there

I can let you know about the next 7 to 10 days but beyond that I'm not sure sorry.

By the looks of things no thunderstorms due for Auckland in the next 7 to 10 days sorry to say.

Cheers
Aaron

Thankyou very much!

Sorted :)

Hi there Paul, October is a bit of a crazy weather month with hints of summer (like this weekend where some places will reach the mid 20s) and hints of winter (like this week!). Not sure about records yet, Auckland has had colder days in October (Several years ago the city broke an October record for lowest daytime high recorded here, just +9C).  Windy weather is also fairly normal. So things warm up by Sunday, these winds ease by Saturday night. Next week doesn't look as windy or as cool. Don't think cold weather is increasing here, although Climate Change does make weather patterns more unstable which can lead to sudden colder blasts. November looks like it might be starting off a little more settled too - we'll have more info about that in the coming days.

Today? Or for the next 7 days? Our Auckland forecasts are for you!

Hi there, the nature of showers is that some get wet some miss out - even within a local area. If you need the big picture of what is happening you should be watching our daily videos. If weather data is that important to you, we hope you're also using RuralWeather.co.nz - if not, you have no place to complain :)

RuralWeather.co.nz has more weather data for NZ than any other website on earth - it breaks it down very clearly for where you are. It will take 10 seconds to load the first time you go there (we are working on a fix for that by January). But the graphs and data on this site means you shouldn't get surprised by the weather anymore. Despite you funding Niwa and MetService this remains and entirely free service. 

Cheers

Summer is coming December 1st :)

But there may be some settled weather coming at the very end of this month / early November due to an anticyclone. But we'll have to wait and see!

Hi Paul, next week's forecast isn't yet locked in. It looks like there may be a sub-tropical low that develops but high pressure further south will be the main controlling factor. So we may have to wait until Sunday or Monday to be able to truly lock in next Thursday. All the best - the collective will of everyone's positive thinking may help too!!

Hi there, yes hail in October is incredibly common. Hail is produced two ways in NZ. Either a major wintry snap where the air is so cold we get hail quite easily. Or, when things warm up - it makes for taller clouds that push higher up in the atmosphere turning raindrops to hail. That can then lead to isolated thunderstorms too. October is a high risk month for hail. In summer we get hail too, from warmth which generates even taller cloud build ups.

Cheers

Your right it has thundered near you, no we didn't have it in although we did consider the possibility. Figured it may have been erring on the side of not having some thunder / lightning but obviously the weather has erred on the side of definitely having a few rumbles about.

WW

Main southerly isn't due till around midnight, it looks much more likely to push through Chch then yesterday's front. May be a flicker of lightning but only a chance.

Cheers
WW

Hi there, we have a video update and extensive news and maps in our News section which address Auckland's weather and the gales coming in overnight and over Wednesday.

Cheers
WW

Should be sorted now - again let us know if there's still a glitch in the system.

G'day there

Saturday looks to actually be the best day of the week in Dunedin going by current guidance. Sunny areas and some high cloud, winds from the north may be a bit gusty at times. Warm with temperatures in the early twenties, perhaps an outside chance of mid twenties.

On Sunday it's dry at first then rain moves in by midday with southerlies.

Have a good trip! :)

Cheers
