As of 2024 we will no longer be publishing questions related to weather forecasts if they are answered via our hyper-local hourly & 10 day forecasts, weather maps and regular daily and monthly weather & climate videos.

We’re a small NZ business with limited resources to respond to general weather questions. Our social media pages may be helpful to you, especially if you want to often talk (or groan!) about your local weather.Β You can find more resources from us here if that’s your thing.

Thanks for your support!

Don’t forget to check out our RuralWeather.co.nzΒ website (great for event planning or attending + camping!) and also, our brand new Weather Alerting App!

Holy Moly! What on earth is going on with your Franz Josef forecast? The app says we’re getting -7 deg tonight and a high of 3deg today…. we’re currently at 8deg. The next 10 days the temps are more like Alexandra during a cold week than our normal.

Felicity on 16/07/2025 3:54am

Phew, back to normal. That’s better. Thank you.

Hmmm, weird! Were you looking specifically at this location out of interest – or is it your saved location that suddenly went wild?
Cheers

It was my saved favourite location on the app (as opposed to detecting where I am). I even refreshed it a couple of times then went from the app to looking up the specific location on the website and it was still weird. Sorted itself out though, must’ve been a brain fart.

Is there anyway we can see rainfall in last 24hrs from stations.
A bit exhausting getting up at midnight, recording accumulated rainfall for the day, then adding it to the 8am reading……

Sadly both MetService (and what was Niwa – now Earth Sciences) commercialise access and display of tax funded historical data. Put simply, last time we asked NZ’s two Government Agencies for public historical weather data we were told it would be 1 million dollars or more per year (Niwa). Free in all other modern nations. We’re as frustrated as you are, but β€œThe Crown” is a commercial business as much as it is as Government. According to the New Zealand Commerce Commission or Government β€œnothing can be done about this”.
