Holy Moly! What on earth is going on with your Franz Josef forecast? The app says weβre getting -7 deg tonight and a high of 3deg todayβ¦. weβre currently at 8deg. The next 10 days the temps are more like Alexandra during a cold week than our normal.

Hmmm, weird! Were you looking specifically at this location out of interest β or is it your saved location that suddenly went wild?
Cheers

It was my saved favourite location on the app (as opposed to detecting where I am). I even refreshed it a couple of times then went from the app to looking up the specific location on the website and it was still weird. Sorted itself out though, mustβve been a brain fart.

Is there anyway we can see rainfall in last 24hrs from stations.
A bit exhausting getting up at midnight, recording accumulated rainfall for the day, then adding it to the 8am readingβ¦β¦

Sadly both MetService (and what was Niwa β now Earth Sciences) commercialise access and display of tax funded historical data. Put simply, last time we asked NZβs two Government Agencies for public historical weather data we were told it would be 1 million dollars or more per year (Niwa). Free in all other modern nations. Weβre as frustrated as you are, but βThe Crownβ is a commercial business as much as it is as Government. According to the New Zealand Commerce Commission or Government βnothing can be done about thisβ.
