WW Forecast Team on 22/10/2025 10:57pm

On the edges of severe weather – but worst winds will be in Marlborough to your east and south-east.

It looks like the wind is going to be quite severe in Palmerston North for today (23rd October) – will there be any warnings issued?

WW Forecast Team on 22/10/2025 8:22pm

Will be blustery – a warning is always possible but the worst of the winds should be east and south of PN.
Cheers

Really Phil.. Are we gonna get blown to smithereens tomorrow in chch?

WW Forecast Team on 22/10/2025 10:22am

Hi Daniel, damaging winds are possible in Christchurch on Thursday – although nor’westers can be a bit unpredictable by sometimes bringing pockets of calmer areas to some places as they pass over the Southern Alps, but this set-up has a high chance of reaching severe gale.
Cheers,
– WW

Will there be any harsh impacts regarding the wind in the Selwyn region of Canterbury?

WW Forecast Team on 22/10/2025 7:47am

Hi there, yes it’s certainly possible – please check out our video today as we cover Canterbury in extra detail.
