Hey there
I was wondering if you would have an idea of what the weather will be like for the far north (Kaitaia and further north) of New Zealand for the end of November and early December.
Cheers Riley

WW Forecast Team on 10/11/2025 9:31pm

Hi there Riley, we don’t have a December outlook yet but generally speaking we’re seeing a few rain bands moving through over the next couple weeks affecting the upper North Island. Weather forecasts tend to only go out 10 days or so with accuracy – beyond that the timing/placement of weather systems in the maps can move around so much it becomes unreliable in a narrow island nation like NZ. But there are some dry settled patches, but also a few lows to keep an eye on. Likely warmer than average too.
Cheers

hi there, I came here just to see if there was any article or if the question has been asked already…? but just very curious to learn why the weather in the upper North island has become so incredibly HOT all of a sudden???

WW Forecast Team on 10/11/2025 12:12am

Hi Paul, High pressure north of NZ is pulling down subtropical air from around New Caledonia/southern Vanuatu and the Coral Sea area. The placement of that high is helping drag down that humid summer-like air. This should ease back in the coming days/nights. It’s been well above average/normal for parts of NZ over the past week due to these airflows.

Cheers,
Phil D

Passing heavy showers in Waharoa.

Sylvia on 28/10/2025 11:15pm

Wow, the rain and the wind were so strong yesterday in Auckland. I just watched the board on our fences fly from the strength of the wind. Downpours were incredibly strong as well.

josh on 29/10/2025 10:49pm

yes squally weather Tuesday afternoon here south Auckland as well also those overnight labour day/Tuesday before dawn thunderstorms and heavy rain from the active cold front.

Kat on 28/10/2025 6:37am

WOW, at 7:34pm, tonight Hamilton West got hit witha very squally storm. Sideways rain and all.

josh on 27/10/2025 9:14pm

hey phil. that was a active night in Auckland. thunder/lightning and heavy rain/downpours. snow in Canterbury from the sounds of it. when will this active relentless pattern end?

are we in for a late summer?

WW Forecast Team on 28/10/2025 2:39am

Hey Josh, our ClimateWatch video is out on Friday and we expect to see some spring pattern continuing on into December. Will have a better idea end of the week (and going into mid November).
