A Happy New Year to you Phil and all the team that make WW the great weather service that it has become over the last 15 years.
And all without the millions of dollars that the MetOffice and Niwa suck up every year and still provide a sub par weather service in return.
I wish you could become the National weather forecaster!
Enjoy your well earned break and I am looking forward to the return of the little green hand 🙂

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!

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

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.
