Weather Forecast for Greymouth

G'day there

That is a week away so anything I say now may not exactly come to fruition by the time the 16th to 19th rolls around. In any case the 16th looks good, sunny with light northwesterlies. 17th is fairly good also, winds may pick up a little. The 18th may be dry in the morning then a front moves over in the afternoon bringing rain. Morning rain on the 19th then drying out in the afternoon.

Hope that helps!

Cheers

Hi Deano, we're currently working on a new set up which will allow you to choose the local weather station you want. This is because so many of our main centres are both coastal and hilly so have quite a variation. Sometimes even the nearest station may not be the most accurate for you. We'll be adding this feature later this year in our free app and our new rural app...so watch this space for a fix!

Hi Jemma, thanks for the question. Unfortunately it's too far out to lock in any kind of weather pattern or forecast that far out, especially in Wellington which can be spectacular sunny and dry, or cold, wet and wintry! Best we can do is give you an update 10 to 14 days out based on the patterns around then. Storms sometimes can appear with as little as a few days notice so even two week advanced forecasts aren't always helpful in a small island nation like New Zealand. Sorry we can't be of more help at the moment!

Cheers

Yeah it's a bit complicated as there's also a high coming in behind it quickly which may weaken it. But ff the high is slower the low may deepen more. A 'watch this space' forecast!

Cheers :)

Looks quite anticyclonic around then for Taupo so mainly settled weather looks to be on the cards I'd say, doesn't rule out the chance of areas of low cloud or fog morning and night but the afternoon's should be good.

Hi there

It'll get cold, but not quite a frost. Looking at about 3 degrees, perhaps an outside risk of something a degree or two lower which is getting close.

Cheers
Aaron

Winter months in NZ are June, July and August. But some prefer to go by the solstice which in 2019 starts from June 22nd.

Cheers

May, a bit colder than April but not as cold as June. As for the other particulars......rain, wind and sun they will all occur in varying amounts, some more than others.

Hi there, yes Queenstown can get 'spillover' from West Coast rain events and the set up over the past month or two has been for a LOT of rain to fall on the West Coast, so Queenstown has been affected by that too to some degree. A similar pattern continues from April into May this year it seems.

Hi there, the warm calm conditions around Auckland coupled with a weak low moving in over the city is helping to produce instability. These clouds have exploded into life over the warm waters of Auckland harbour/Hauraki gulf. We do have some risks today (in green) but generally at the lower end of the risk scale so not likely to be widespread - but may still be intense. We had thunder showers in our 4am forecast Infographic this morning for the upper North Island - but they are very isolated.

Cheers

Hi there, your taxes fund MetService. We are an entirely free service and we definitely warned of the rain for Taranaki and had it in all of our forecasts. We also tweeted yesterday how much rain had fallen in some parts of the region - well over 100mm!

Cheers
WW

Good morning - what we display is our general WW Wellington regional forecast, in which we deem 0% chance of rain. The hourly forecast comes from IBM and is specific to the location you have chosen, and this shows any variation in your local spot. We'd suggest if you're confused at all, ignore the hourly forecasts and focus on the main WW one as it's generally more accurate. MetService's set up is very different and their data often has no association with their forecast. Our hourly data is related to your precise location of choice and this is the extra details we provide to help you plan your day but as we say, just stick to the main WW forecasts if it's too much detail to make sense of.

Cheers

WW

Haha, it's fun to be fun sometimes! :)  Glad we made you laugh!
Have a great long weekend

Greetings to you too :)  At this stage we don't see the right amount of energy for hail - but there may be some locally heavy downpours along with a cold change that may feel a bit wintry for a time. There is some chance but the risk is deemed so low it's perhaps not worth highlighting.

But please let us know how things pan out

Cheers

Good morning Indie. Thanks for letting us know about the faulty station and we have currently removed it until it's working again. Thanks for your kind supportive words! If any further problems please just let us know.

Cheers

Good evening and thank you, we have removed this faulty weather station until it is working again. There are several Cambridge weather stations on our network so it will now find the next nearest. If you find it hasn't resolved itself by tomorrow morning please do let us know. Thanks for your help improving our network.

Cheers

WW Team

Good morning, thanks for letting us know. Can you please provide the name of the Station ID (In the NOW box, it will say something like "Observed at 8:51am from: Cambridge (ICAMBRID181)". If you can give us that unique ID we can look into why that station is reporting odd numbers and will block/remove it if faulty.

Hi there, thanks for the kind and honest feedback :) Yes the ranges are definitely taken into consideration for rainfall totals and we're working to improve the way we display our Napier forecasts (and other regional forecasts) and as part of this we'll be adding rainfall totals and better ways of showing rain risks. In the meantime, here's the rainfall accumulation map for all the rain falling between now and Saturday night/Sunday morning... you're certainly affected by that rain shadow. Probably better chances for rain next week when it turns more S to SE again. If you can't read the key the blue/green area is just 5-15mm.

Have a good weekend! 

Cheers

G'day there

Saturday looks to be a mix of sun and cloud at this stage, mainly dry with only the small risk of a shower or two. Winds from the south. Not terribly warm with a high of 10 degrees.

Cheers
Aaron

Thanks very much :)

Hi there, for the next 3 days there is a SE wind flow across the North Island that will produce a fair bit of dry weather in Auckland but also some areas of rain and showers. Last evening there were some beautiful ares of high cloud but also some darker clouds which could suddenly produce rain. These showers will be randomly popping up without warning - SE wind flows are dry for Auckland most often but a slight shift to ESE can produce rain. We're an entirely free public service, you have other options in NZ - like MetService, NIWA and MetOcean which are all forecasters your taxes pay for/own.
