Hi there, there seems to be a glitch on your hourly forecasts which don’t change for subsequent days of the upcoming week -it remains stuck on the current day’s hourly forecast. Has been doing that for last couple of days. Here’s to a lovely settled summer soon!

Carol on 2/01/2026 4:38am

Hi – are you aware that the rain shows the same amount hourly every day next week for Pukekohe?

Chrisp on 1/01/2026 7:52pm

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

where did u see the possible cylone

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.

Suzy on 2/01/2026 6:02am

Yay – it’s working properly again.

DJA on 31/12/2025 8:56pm

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.

Kat on 31/12/2025 7:36pm

Happy New Year to Phîl and everyone at Weatherwatch. You made 2025 a great year. Here’s to even more accurate weather forecasting for the upcoming year. Cheers all.
