Hi Phil

Can we expect some good rain on east coast (west BOP) from the Nth. Qld cyclone

WW Forecast Team on 11/01/2026 7:31pm

Hi Shaun, not quite the same low but a new system that will form near it may produce some rain for western BoP: https://www.weatherwatch.co.nz/maps-radars/rain/cumulative-rainfall

Hello, just saw that IAUCKL939 is not showing any readings as of the moment.

Thank you very much for all your hard work for forecasting over the holidays and adding more weather stations in Auckland! The forecasts are the most accurate and I enjoy being able to see how much rain there is per area as well.

You go to one website to tell people to go to another website scaremongering everyone. How about you trust the website you’re currently on.

A Happy New Year to you Phil and all the team that make WW the great weather service that it has become over the last 15 years.
And all without the millions of dollars that the MetOffice and Niwa suck up every year and still provide a sub par weather service in return.
I wish you could become the National weather forecaster!
Enjoy your well earned break and I am looking forward to the return of the little green hand 🙂
