Guys, a small complaint.
Over the last year or so, I have noticed that when I refresh the web page/app to get the latest rainfall amount for a location (have experimented with about 10 locations, including my local area of Takapuna), it won’t always update to the current time, and often goes back 30 minutes to up to and hour and a half before, so we aren’t able to see the most up to date rainfall amount. Not sure if you guys are aware of this but I thought I would let you know. Cheers.

Hi Aaron, is this to do with rainfall that has already fallen – or rainfall that is forecast to yet fall?
Cheers

Hi Philip,
This is to do with the accumulated rainfall that has already fallen. In the past you would get the latest data to the minute whenever you refreshed the page. Now it’s hit and miss. Sometimes it happens, often it doesn’t and you will get the data from an hour ago for example.
Thanks Phil.

Hi Aaron, the observational data is our biggest expense to display (because the NZ Government via MetService and Niwa don’t give us open access to historical data like other nations do, so we have to purchase it and host the data ourselves). To ensure we can display more observations we have to find a balance in costs to do this – so some weather observations are delayed by 30 to 60 minutes when it comes to *historical* data. On top of that, not all weather stations update equally – some update every minute, others once an hour. We’re working with MetService in the hopes we can access tax funded observations in real time – but we’re not there yet. This is the best middle ground we can find in that area.
Kind regards
Philip Duncan

What a great weather setup, easy-to-use and understand. I do check the forecast a few times and checking manly for changes as we have a reasonable size vegetable garden which is used all year round. We rely on a water gauge to check for overnight rain. If there was a place that I could fill in for the amount of rain for the past 24hrs I could do that. Once again what a great forecast report.

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

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.

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???

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
