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.

Thanks for your support!

Looks like a possible cyclone mid month. Not showing on your models ala Cyclone Tam….?

Suzy on 1/01/2026 7:18pm

Happy New Year. Thanks for your great service. Since yesterday I’ve only been able to see a very limited number of temperatures on the live observations map? Normally when I scroll the number increases substantially. Has something changed? Cheers.

Happy New Year WW!
FYI it looks like the rain, wind and cloud info in the hourly forecast is the same for every day.

Deano on 1/01/2026 10:16am

Yeah, i noticed that to.lm sure the team will sort it out.Happy new year Phil and the team.

Hi phill and weather watch is the weather event new zealand getting la nina like?

WW Forecast Team on 29/12/2025 8:43am

Nope, not very much – mostly westerly and south-westerly driven, except for today, which is a bit La Nina like, but the next couple weeks look more W to SW driven.

Mary Jarvie on 29/12/2025 12:15am

Why are we still getting Westport USA’s weather ?!

WW Forecast Team on 29/12/2025 9:21pm

Hi Mary, we have removed that broken weather observation. Please note it does not affect the forecasts which are for Westport NZ.
