Hey Linda,
Phil explained recently that this current low is very difficult to predict as it is really messy. There has been no forecaster that has correctly predicted any of this weather for more than a day ahead. That’s just the reality of the business sometimes.

It would be really appropriate for forecasters to include a confidence level alongside the data. When you look ahead, there’s no way to know whether a 3 day forecast is worth more than a coin flip. I’m sure it varies, but why not share that?

Why does your weather forecast often differ from Met Service.? Very confusing.

Because they use the forecast models that get it wrong

Hi, do you offer soil temperature by district? Particularly useful in rural weather this time of year and spring

Hi John, no sorry we don’t have that data (all historical data in NZ is owned by Niwa/MetService and they don’t share this data easily). However some local councils do have good free information on current soil temperatures, but that soil data varies from council to council. The NZ Government treats current/historic weather data as something they can leverage to commercialise, unlike most other modern nations where this data is all freely available for public good, and is designed by Govt to keep Niwa/MetService more commercially relevant and to limit fair competition (like us) from being too successful.
Cheers
