Weather Forecast for Greymouth

EDIT: 1:35pm Monday.  Hi there, we can confirm we have a fault with IBM's data feed for some weather observations. Because our app and website are designed to find your nearest location and display it, it means if any go offline it goes looking further away for the next nearest one, which explains those random obs you're listing. We've logged the fault and hope to get a fix soon for it.

Cheers for your help!

Hi there, thanks very much for letting us know about the issue. While it's amazing having such a huge network of PWS across NZ we do have a few bugs due to the old Wunderground platform these stations are hosted on. IBM has bought Wunderground and they are hoping to overhaul the observations page but perhaps WeatherWatch may start hosting the weather stations ourselves (that way we can not only display your data but we could also give back to you historical data for that station and trends, as a two way win/win).

There are some other people who have also said their PWS isn't showing up on our network - so we may need to update the feed. Will do some digging! 

Cheers

(PS we do have some MetService data in there from airports, but it is delayed by an hour to 3 hours).

Good morning. Thanks for the udpate, it does appear to be showing a higher number. We've removed it now, please let us know if it's still showing an incorrect temperature later today (may take an hour or so to disappear).

Thanks for letting us know!

Cheers

Hi there - Our current Auckland forecast shows 30% chance of rain. Do you have a screenshot of your incorrect reading - we need to fix it cleary, we don't want to let you down! :)

Hi there, we never supported MetService or Auckland Civil Defence's commercial hype around this non event today. We also think the wind blast in Northland was most likely a microburst - but MetService gets commercial rather than scientific in these moments, as we experienced in both the Albany and Hobsonville tornado's which were deadly but they got technical rather than admitting fault. A shame we all are FORCED to fund this system.

Hey John, thanks very much for the message. Hope your daughter got on ok desite the isolated pockets of rough weather up north today!

Hi there

Not likely.

Hi there, potentially in the AM when some heavy downpours with isolated thunderstorms track across the city and regin. However it's not widespread for the upper North Island so not every part of Auckland will be affected by the heaviest downpours, but the region has the some low to moderate risk of flooding due to the localised heavy downpours. Rain eases/breaks up in the PM.

We had an issue with a data feed this morning which crashed the site - it's all back up and running again now! Apologies for the fault.

Hi there

No snow or sleet forecast for Westport, could be tiny bits of hail perhaps?

Cheers
Aaron

Hi there

That story is in reference to a low crossing the country this coming week.

Dunedin itself won't get any snow, could be a dusting on the top of surrounding hills perhaps Tuesday morning (tomorrow morning) then it will quickly clear.

Thanks for the kind words! :)

WW

Heavy rain and possible thunderstorms will be the thing to watch at this stage, timings will have to be fine tuned as we get closer to Wednesday.

WW

Hi there, no as our forecast says snow is possible to 300m - so potentially a flurry, or sleet, in Dunedin overnight in the hilltop suburbs especially, but nothing esignificant is expected in the city with the overnight low being too mild, around 4 or 5 degrees. Could be a few snow showers to lower levels if the winds are gusty enough.

Cheers

WW

Hi there, yes there may be. We'll have more details on Sunday. Keep an eye on our detailed Christchurch forecasts for more details, including hourly wind speeds and rain confidence for the next 10 days specific to where you are.

Cheers

Chch on average doesnt get snow very much at all. We just havent had the right set up in a long time. It'll happen again at some point.

Cheers
Aaron

Hi there

No snow for Christchurch, if we think snow is possible in the city we'll put it in our Christchurch forecast :)

Thanks for writing in!

Aaron

Thanks for that, you were dead right! Much appreciated, have changed now.

Many thanks
Aaron

Was quite the show! Looking quieter now but more isolated thunderstorms, squalls and hail showers are likely over the next 12 to 24 hours. Hit and miss around NZ so a bit tricky to say if we'll get a repeat or not.

Cheers

WW

For Auckland? Probably not, showers just will be a bit squally as westerlies strengthen later this evening.

You should be ok

Hi there, we may have a couple of isolated power cuts overnight or on Saturday (isolated due to various squally showers that produce winds strong enough moving through here and there). Hopefuly nothing too problematic but yes some risk next 24 hours. Another risk again mid next week and also next Friday.

Cheers
WW

Good evening and thanks for the great (unique) question! We don't want to prejudge the NZ Army but our guess is they will be tough enough to handle this weekend :)  It does look cold though, especially Saturday. Keep an eye on our 10 day Waiouru forecast, as it includes hourly chance of Rain and Snow. Anything above 40% when it comes to snow indicates it may be heavy. Sunday it dries up and Monday things warm back up again.

Cheers
