Why does your weather forecast often differ from Met Service.? Very confusing.

Hi, do you offer soil temperature by district? Particularly useful in rural weather this time of year and spring

Hi John, no sorry we don’t have that data (all historical data in NZ is owned by Niwa/MetService and they don’t share this data easily). However some local councils do have good free information on current soil temperatures, but that soil data varies from council to council. The NZ Government treats current/historic weather data as something they can leverage to commercialise, unlike most other modern nations where this data is all freely available for public good, and is designed by Govt to keep Niwa/MetService more commercially relevant and to limit fair competition (like us) from being too successful.

Under Maps and Radar > Wind > MajicWeather Wind Forecast. The colour is based on the surface (2m) temperature, and varies from dark blue below freezing, up to green at around 10-15°c, yellow around 25-30°c and red at about 40°c.
Am I correct in assuming that the light colour (white) between the green and yellow is approximate temperature of around 16-24, or is it just light yellow?

Hi Bruce, the white (brightness) areas represent the strength of the wind, being severe gale and above – not the temperature. Hope that helps.
Cheers
