Where does the chance of rain come from for the day?
I looked at tomorrowā€™s chance of rain for my area and itā€™s 0% but when I look at the hourly, It ranges from 1-14%, none of them is 0%

Thanks for the reply. My area is Belmont. Looks very different from Auckland

Hi Vict, sounds like itā€™s part of a bigger glitch we have. Weā€™re looking into it and hope to have a fix next week. Thanks for the location thatā€™s helpful.

Daily figures show 7am to 7pm, hourly shows hourly. Sometimes it will say 0% because the rain is in the other section. If thatā€™s not the case please let us know which location so we can take a look. There have been a couple bugs in the system lately and itā€™s possible this is connected to that.
Thanks

Hey guys, I get the weather is hard to predict at the moment but itā€™s bloody annoying when the forecast says ā€œTraceā€ amount of rain and ā€œPartly cloudy. Breezy West to Souā€™West winds.ā€ and then it torrentially chucks it down all the way from Mt Wellington to Albany.

WW Forecast Team on 18/04/2024 12:46am

Hi there, appreciate the frustration ā€“ but be angry with the Government ā€“ itā€™s Niwa and MetService who have commercialised/blocked access to tax funded radar and tax funded weather data which (as weā€™ve said for 15 years now) would fix that very problem.

Lobby your local MP or the Government to make change ā€“ they have their second review in place now, after entirely ignoring the last review in 2017 which said NZ weather data is expensive and hard to access or use for the good of the public.

We can only do so much as a small business ā€“ yet the rainfall data we use is still more accurate overall than Government agencies Niwa and MetService when it comes to rain forecasting. Most accurate = perfection though.

Cheers

Interesting weather in Europe at present: Temperature anomaly between the past Sunday (April 14th) and the following Sunday (April 21st), from around 15 Ā°C too warm to more than 10 Ā°C below average temperature.
