Weather Forecast for Masterton

Gday there

That's 11 to 13 days away and with spring upon us that means changeable conditions. So anything I say now will likely change meaning it becomes a bit irrelevant.

In saying that current models look to show a high parked to the north and a westerly airflow over the upper North Island then. Perhaps a mix of sun and cloud with the low risk of the odd shower, later on Sunday has a higher risk of precipitation with a possible front closing in.

Hope your trip goes well either way.

Hi there, if you have cookies enabled your browser should remember the last location you selected when you click the down arrow to the left of the location name in the main forecast bar (see image below), however some people are reporting a bug with this and it later often defaulting to 'Auckland'. We are significantly upgrading things behind the scenes right now and we aim to have this bug properly fixed by December. In the meantime if it's still not working you could simply select your location and then bookmark that webpage for easy future reference.

Cheers,

Hi there, we think gusts over 100km/h are possible on Monday night in exposed areas but the latest data shows the winds may tilt more SE towards evening and sometimes the Coromandel Peninsula ranges can 'soften the blow' for parts of Auckland in that set up. We'll provide a news and video update tomorrow morning on the set up too.

Cheers

Hi there, we have the ID now and we'll try to sort this today. Seems to be a bug in the system.

Thanks for letting us know :)

Hi there, actually the hourly chance of rain from IBM did show a chance of rain - and our video yesterday mentioned some areas may have cloud and a few showers remaining in the upper North Island. But yes today's forecast for much of the upper North Island could have been better, especially Auckland and Tauranga.  The super computer we use forecast the showers, they were just more widespread than we thought. Thanks for using our entirely free service when you tax fund both MetService and Niwa forecasts. We're always working to be more accurate.

Good morning, ouch it's definitely not that cold today in Cambridge! :) We've blocked the station for now, but please let us know if it's still showing up. (If so, please ensure you send us the precise Station ID so we can easily locate it - we hope we've found the culprit here!)

Cheers

Hi there, thanks for the support! We've worked very hard to provide many more NZ forecast locations (and to ensure they are accurate). We have over 2000 forecast locations, compared to around just 100 with BOTH Government forecasters (we all tax fund) combined. 

Cheers

Got to 21 degrees today in Chch, as forecast :)

Hi there, thanks for your very detailed complaint. We are a free service but you tax fund MetService - hopefully you've told them the same thing or it would be quite strange to complain about the free more accurate service rather than the one you pay for that you admit isn't quite as reliable. We'll strive to do better. :)

Cheers
Phil.

Hi there, yes we are going to be adding this feature in the near future (within the next 6 months).

Kind regards

WW

You are right Dave, that isn't right. Had a bit of a data issue last night which meant we were lacking some information. Should be looking more correct now.

WW

Hi there, it's too far out to lock in by a long shot! We can go to 10 to 14 days out with some accuracy :)

Cheers

WW

:) Thanks very much!

Hi there, any thunder today was going to be isolated. We removed it from the Auckland forecast at lunchtime. Might be an isolated flicker/rumble tonight but for now the activity is occuring further down the North Island.

Cheers

Hey there Mike, thanks so much - I really appreciate the support (we all do!)

Cheers
