Have a party in Auckland on Sat! Forecast seems to be changing every few hours with the latest showing light rain across the morning through to early arvo. When will we have a clearer idea of whats going to happen? Love your work

Hi James, check out my video today ā looks a bit showery with SW winds picking up at times. With this sort of set up it takes until closer to the day to lock it in (due to the low itself moving through on Friday) but SW winds after a low at this time of year can be gusty with showers. Thanks for the support and good luck for Saturday!

I just wanted to know what the following wind terms mean:
Blustery, fresh, strong, brisk, breezy, fairly breezy, gale, severe gale, etc. What are the differences between all of these?

Hi there, you can find the wind speeds that connect with those terms in the hourly section of the forecast from any day. At some point weāll get more info on our site about things like this.
Cheers

Itās probably because itās forecasting high cloud and overdoing it with the icon. Check the data at RuralWeather.co.nz to make moer sense of it. Weāre working on this problem.
