As of 2024 we will no longer be publishing questions related to weather forecasts if they are answered via our hyper-local hourly & 10 day forecasts, weather maps and regular daily and monthly weather & climate videos.

We’re a small NZ business with limited resources to respond to general weather questions. Our social media pages may be helpful to you, especially if you want to often talk (or groan!) about your local weather. You can find more resources from us here if that’s your thing.

As a keen observer of weather in the North Island I and some of my friends and colleagues find weather forecasts over the past 3 to 4 months have been woeful !

I’m in my early 70s and have had an ongoing interest in weather in the North Island from Taupo north, the forecasting of late (last 6 months) have been woeful specifically in the greater Auckland Region

With all the weather specialists & all the techo goodies you have you’d like to think you could get some reliability and semblance of accuracy in forecasting !

When Wiroa Island had a weather station at Auckland Airport forecasts for Auckland were inherently reliable, these days it’s look out the window and guess, seems to be the basis of weather FORCASTING in the 21st Century!

Hi there, New Zealand has no open weather data – that’s why forecasts aren’t as accurate as we all wish they were. That simply means that no historical or current weather data is openly available for use, unlike Australia, USA, Canada, UK, Japan etc. I suggest you write to you local MP. Our forecasts in other nations are more accurate because we capture real time data including radar.
Have a nice day, thank you for using our free service when you tax fund both MetService and Niwa weather.

Why are results from Westport Cananda showing up on this page ?! ie IWESTP58

WW Forecast Team on 25/12/2025 9:44am

Hi Mary, where are you seeing it say Canada? IWESTP58 does appear to be incorrect, but it’s showing 21 degrees, not -3 (which it is there). We’ll take a look and remove that station in the next day or so.
