Hi Team, where do I go on your website to find how the highs and lows are predicted to be in 2 weeks time, as shown in your monthly climate watch. Maybe you could look at do a mid month climate watch. In this instance I am looking at planning something for the weekend 7th/8th March. I am sure there are interested people out there.

WW Forecast Team on 22/02/2026 10:27pm

Hi Bruce, forecasts don’t generally go out more than 10 to 15 days in our part of the world, as they aren’t reliable beyond that point. We are thinking about doing mid-month climate updates though, just not quite there yet.

Kind regards
– WW

Hello, we are hosting the RC Aerobatic NZ Masters & F3A World Cup event in Hamilton (https://maps.app.goo.gl/R17Q8bdwDwNbJqaq6) from 27 Feb to 1 Mar and will be welcoming a number of international competitors.
We are closely monitoring the expected wind conditions and rainfall over those dates. Would it be possible to provide detailed wind forecasts and probability of rain information for the Hamilton Model Aero Club during that period please.
We really appreciate the work you do — thank you in advance for your help.

Alison on 13/02/2026 11:16am

Hi team, just a heads up, the IAUCKL797 isn’t showing any rain readings, and it would have got a good bit of rain fall recorded today. Does it need a reboot to start getting data back? Thanks team, love your work you do for us, and LOVE the app ❤️

what about wairarapa rainfall totals?

WW Forecast Team on 12/02/2026 12:28am

You can find it in your local forecast here at WeatherWatch.co.nz, or via RuralWeather.co.nz. Also rain maps for the big picture: https://www.weatherwatch.co.nz/maps-radars/rain/cumulative-rainfall

Hi Living in Rural west Hastings( Raukawa /Maraekakaho area). Very concerned about the next rain event coming in. What kind of rain fall are we expecting

WW Forecast Team on 11/02/2026 8:20pm

Hi Sue, check out our RuralWeather site – it updates every hour (so rainfall numbers may move around a little over the days ahead). For now your rainfall doesn’t look too bad: https://www.ruralweather.co.nz/forecasts/Raukawa,%20Hawke's%20Bay . You can also find these graphs in the free WeatherWatch App: https://www.weatherwatch.co.nz/mobile-app

We still haven’t locked in whether rain will soak eastern parts of NZ – or end up mostly out at sea. So keep an eye on those graphs and details as it will help make sense of the news headlines you read elsewhere, which are often a bit alarming. We have a video update today about it, and a further update on Friday to fine tune it.

Cheers
Phil D
