Weather Forecast for Hamilton

Good to hear. Please note GeoNet has tonight taken down all their cameras on White Island. The one from Whakatane looking out to the island remains operational.

Hi there

Best bet is to keep an eye on our Christchurch forecasts as they will always show the most up to date info.

Cheers, Aaron

Looks like a calm patch in regards to thunder for Auckland coming up. Some will eventually turn up again.

Hi there

That is 10 days away so I can't give anything very specific at this point in time. Basically at this point it's looking like dry weather in the east (Canterbury / Christchurch) and wet weather in the west (West Coast). Hopefully that roads have been sorted out by then.

Have a good trip!

Cheers

This coming week looks like the best weather I would say. Keep up to date with our Taupo forecasts here:

G'day there

The weather pattern is quite chaotic at the moment and the 20th is 12 days out, nearly two weeks away. Anything I say now won't be of much use.

Come and ask 6 to 7 days out if possible?

In the meanwhile keep an eye on these maps if you like: http://weathermap.co.nz/forecast-maps

Then select "rain", you can go out to the 20th there and try your luck. I don't find maps out that far very reliable, but there you go! :)

Hi there

Check out our rural weather page for Christchurch and click on "Wind":

https://www.weatherwatch.co.nz/rural/Christchurch%2C%2520Canterbury

That will take you out for the next 10 days and you can see what the winds are up to :)

Cheers

There's a chance, generally a fairly low chance but a chance.

Morning Ted, thanks very much for the feedback and support. Your question is an interesting one, but to be honest it's outside our expertise. We suggest you contact Government Agency NIWA as they have scientists who specialise in co2.  Sorry we can't help further on this one.

Kind regards
Phil

Yes I would take your wet weather gear.

Thanks! :)

WW

Perhaps getting close to that figure but may be just shy at around 20mm. But we'll see, an isolated downpour could mean some spots get over 25mm. For the most part, around 20mm though.

Hi Jeff - Simply look at the hourly forecasts for Saturday as it will be the best guide for you on top of our detailed forecast. It really only shows a moderate risk of an isolated afternoon shower/downpour somewhere in the Auckland region - perhaps more likely inland north of the city or south of the city. At this stage Saturday leans mostly dry.

Cheers

Phil

Hi there, keep an eye on the hourly % of rain as you'll see where the risks are. Any showers that form you can then track on the rain radar.  All the best for tomorrow - hopefully it's a cracker of a day!

Hi there - we are improving the layout and adding better rainfall data we hope by the end of January. So watch this space :) In the meantime, you can also use our website www.RuralWeather.co.nz to really drill down on rainfall totals. It may take 10 seconds to load the page up first time you visit due to so much data (we are lifting that speed early next year too).

Cheers :)

At this stage it may be looking fairly anticyclonic meaning settled. All the details re sun, morning cloud, chance of a shower, temperature etc will come out in the wash as we get closer to the time but for now..... mainly settled, light winds.

Hopefully it ends up being a good day. The above can change being 10 days out so not locked in yet.

Cheers
Aaron

Yes in that any thunderstorm activity if it does happen may not be till later in the day with a front, may just be the odd shower before then. Keep an eye on your Auckland forecast :)

Cheers
Aaron

Hi there

If you've hit those highs it may be possible. Not to discredit your temperature readings but at Metservices North Shore spot it hasn't read any higher then 24.9 degrees over the last 30 days which was on the 5th November, yesterday it got to 23.7.

Go here: https://www.metservice.com/towns-cities/regions/auckland/locations/north-shore

Along the top task bar select "Past Weather" then "Last 30 days". It's not to say your readings are wrong but there are certain requirements in how a thermometer must be set up to get accurate readings, even if it is seemingly in the shade. But you could have a certain microclimate where you are precisely that leads to those highs.

As for the Christmas forecast Phil answered a similar question just yesterday and said this:

"We're aiming to have our first forecast out on Monday :) It will be very generic and about the general theme of highs and lows around the week of Christmas time - but it's at least one step in trying to lock it in!"

Keep up the good work!

Cheers
Aaron

Yep, we're in a bit of a weird weather sandwich - clouds to the north and south - hopefully we're in a sunny bubble for longer :) (Although we do need more rain!)
