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

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.
