Hi Jet, we’ll have a long range outlook on New Year’s Eve, but not the usual ClimateWatch update, that returns on January 31st.
Cheers

Hi Mike, thanks very much for the ongoing support – it’s very much appreciated! Might do a bloopers real at some point – but mostly it’s me screwing up the first 15 seconds and then a few bleeps. 😀
Cheers and have a great Christmas/Summer

Hey Phil thanks for the excellent forecasts. I’ve been getting an error 500 since yesterday for Hamilton and Tauranga forecasts.

Hi Kat, thanks for that 🙂 Are you still getting that 500 error? We made some backend changes over the weekend which more than likely caused that.
Cheers
Phil
