Weather Forecast for Hamilton

Just keep an eye on the Sunday forecasts, as we said below there is some chance of a few thunderstorms but they aren't expected to be too widespread over the North Island. Low to moderate risk in Auckland which is similar to MetService.

Edit: Also forgot to mention yes agree with MetService some may be severe before dawn - they are a more widespread for the upper North Island (mainly Northland).

Hi there, most of the thunderstorms will track north of NZ but there is certainly some risk of a few thunderstorms around the upper/western side of the North Island on Sunday. Most will be fairly isolated. A low to moderate risk across much of Sunday - keep an eye on the trackers and rain radar on Sunday to see what happens :)

Hi there - take a look at the top of the page, we already do have tide information thanks to MetOcean :) We're also working on a marine page and app too - we hope to have ready some time in 2020.

Have a great weekend!

Hi there, we are making improvements to the way we display rainfall in the near future. It's not the best at the moment we admit, just working on the changes now and hope to have something better to display in the next few months.

Hey Mark, hmm you may be the first to stump us with a true bug! Agreed it is not showing up. So, in the meantime, can you please try clicking on this icon (see attached image) with the red arrow - this green icon is basically the "find me" button. If that also doesn't work let us know so we can quickly figure out a work around for you! Another temporary option is try another nearby locations like Bushey or Glenpark.

Cheers :)

If any hail it will be very small. When it comes to thunder, it's currently more north of Auckland so (for now anyway) we've removed it from our forecast. It is still possible though, but any thunder in Auckland today looks to be fairly short lived and isolated. We'll be updating our Auckland forecast if this at all changes as we're basically live tracking today's weather.

Cheers

Only one can be right. :) Not sure where you are precisely but no thunderstorms in the upper North Island in the past hour and none seem to be forming at this stage.

Hi there

Please feel free to use these maps, they will keep you updated with the latest information as to whether high pressure is due for the North Island coming up :)

Suffice to say there doesn't look to be much high pressure about for the first half of September.

Hi there

It's nothing out of the ordinary but is a degree or so above normal - thanks to the sub-tropical flow :)

WW

A chance definitely exisits, mainly in the afternoon. It's a really hit and miss situation so you may or may not. Apologies we can't be any more exact.

WW

Hi there

Looks showery on Friday, dry spells may start to increase from late afternoon on Friday. Saturday looks drier, a mix of sun and cloud with southwesterly winds, later in the evening showers or some rain develops.

Hi there, thanks for the comment and yes we are working towards having more rainfall data appear in our forecasts. You may like our new website: www.RuralWeather.co.nz which has fantastic visual rainfall graphs and hourly amounts too. We hope to add more bells and whistles in 2020 :)

Hi there, yes good question! Newshub has just published this story with our views on it - you'll find it interesting I think, definitely Niwa are seeking click bait with that "beast from the east" nonsense:  www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2019/08/sudden-stratospheric-warming-forecaster-rubbishes-predictions-nz-will-be-hit-by-polar-blast.html

This map here http://wxmaps.org/pix/prec7 (the one at the bottom) suggests most of the North Island will have average rainfall for the next 10 days but parts of the east coast, Coromandel / Waikato / southern Auckland and perhaps northern Northland will be just over average.

So there you go..... As for actual specifics that depends exactly where you are.

Hope the above helps.

Hi Indy, great question and you have a little longer to go just yet. We are seeing overnight lows creep up in Dunedin just a little bit, bit 7 degrees looks fairly normal in the week ahead, but cooler winds end of next week and next weekend will likely drop them back down into the lower single digits. Typically the windier westerlies later in September tend to push your lows into double digits more often. Good luck!

Cheers

By the way, you see see temperature trends, including the 'feels like' temperatures, for Dunedin for the next 10 days here in our new weather data page: www.weatherwatch.co.nz/rural/Dunedin

Hi there Kieng, we're basically heading into that perfect windy season right now! This weekend won't be so good though with a lot of high pressure - same with early next week. But later next week, next weekend and likely the several weeks following should see a number of windy days. Have fun!
