Typical week of SW coming up
Typical week of SW coming up only to be interuppted by a low coming down from the north next week,no doubt a return to them again after 2 days.
Next Week Weather
Hi. Just wondering whats the weather going to be like next week in the Piha area. Doing some work in area and need 2 fine days to complete. Thanks!
Piha
Hi and thanks or your query
This Sunday,Monday and Tuesday look the most settled but still the risk of a shower on Monday. Good luck!

Extended Forecast boxes
Just wondering of anyone else is experiencing the same as I always have and that is the bottom of the boxes for Auckland are cutting off the wording so no 5 day forecast is complete. Would love a fix! Thanks
Auckland / Taupo
Please can you tell me which area has the most rain.
Auckland, (Pukekohe), or Taupo.
Thank you very much.
Kind regards
Jeremy
Pukekohe rain
Looks like Auckland gets more rain each year than Taupo.
Hope that helps.
Cheers

Looks like miserable week ahead of us, when can we next expect clear skies? Any ideas?
Clear skies
Hi there,
Later this week should reveal some sunshine :)
Cheers WW

Hi there This could vary a
Hi there
This could vary a little bit depending on temperature and moisture levels in the air. For Sunday it's looking like periods of cloud with sunny breaks aswell.
At this stage we are expecting a cloud base of around 500m in the morning lifting to 800m in the afternoon but lowering again to 400m in the evening for Auckland. I would take those figures and +/- 100m either side for some possible variance.
Cheers
WW
Sunday 3 June
Hi. What sort of altitude do you expect the cloud base to be at on Sunday? This will affect my planned photography. Do you know where I can find this type of forecast on the web? I haven't been able to locate anything.
Thanks

2 Degrees!
I see there is a forecast for 2 degrees on Saturday morning...not a typo? Man that's cold!
Not a typo - but may shift up
Not a typo - but may shift up if we think there may be clouds around (a possibility with highs like this one for Auckland) but at this stage that's our feeling - and yes, cold, just like this morning!

snow
is there any chances of snow again in auckland city, winter is coming
Hi there - most years the
Hi there - most years the risk is just 5%, this year we have determined it is 30%, simply due to the weather pattern set up around the Australia/NZ region (and this has been the set up all year). So the risk is certainly higher than your average year - but it's worth noting there is a 70% chance it won't snow, which is still in the "high confidence" category. For snow again in Auckland we need another intense high over/near Tasmania which stretches down to Antarctica - while at the same time we have a low to the south east of NZ. The two work together to suck up air off the polar caps and push it up and over NZ. This is what we had back in August last year, and the reason we have a 30% chance this year is because we are seeing similar pressure systems to last year.
Hope that helps!
Kind regards
Philip Duncan
Next week
Just wondering what your predictions are for next week? I have a daughter heading off to Motutapu Island for school camp.Thanks :)
Next week
Hi there,
It looks as if it is fairly wet to start off (late Mon, Tues and early Wed) but drying out later on Wednesday and looking good on Thursday with sunny skies.
Thanks for your question and hope the camp goes well. Feel free to check in later this week.
Cheers,WW

Hi, are there any changes in your predictions for next weeks weather?? Hoping it's good news!
Thanks for all the good work you do, I do enjoy your informative and regular updates.
Cheers :)
No, at this point the first
No, at this point the first part of the week is still looking wet.
At the same time, I think there is still a chance that could change. The computer models are having a really tough time coming to an agreement on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
And thank you for the kind words. We really appreciate it :)
Cheers
Thank you

Weather for Riding AK -Waikato
Hi WW - group of friends and I are looking to get in maybe two (2) separate m/bike rides AK - south over the coming weekend.
Ride 1 - to Waikaretu (sth of Pt Waikato & nth of Raglan) & return same day. Times 2pm- 5/6pm.
Ride 2 - to Waitomo Caves area & return same day. Time all day 8am - onwards.
Had a good look at your interactive maps and my understanding is that there shouldn't be rain until late on Sunday 27 May (6pm onwards?).
However Sat 26th shows 10% chance precepitation. Any idea of time of day for AK area and will that rain turn up down Waikaretu area during day?
Any advice gratefully received by us.
Thanks
Bikie
Hi there, wow sounds pretty
Hi there, wow sounds pretty active!. Yep for the most part it will be dry, slight risk of a brief light shower, something I doubt would significantly affect your travel plans. Sunday the risk for rain starts off at 20%, shifts to 40% during the day and 70% by evening - timing of rain in advance can be tricky but based on the data it looks as though the weather will be mostly dry during the days.
Cheers

Fog patches
A year ago today was when we had the bad "pea soup fog" when I saw the patches about I was wondering if it would be the same.
I remember also, the day we had condensation on all windows appear inside, warmer out than inside early in the day.
Frost on neighbours lawn and ice bits on car today.
I think I remember that day
I think I remember that day was early june,it rose in the morning to about 21c at 10am when it was 12 or 13 earlier that morning after a warm front.
Yep we're at that time of
Yep we're at that time of year where the sea surface temps are still highish and the nights are cold - prefect recipe for fog around Auckland - another risk tomorrow and Saturday too. And yes - a light frost this morning too - less likely tomorrow and even less likely on Friday.
Cheers
Philip Duncan
Maximum overnight temperatures
Just a quick suggestion, rather than have overnight maximum temperature listed, wouldn't it be more relevant to list the overnight minimum? (perhaps more relevant for the cooler months)
I would assume that most people would be more interested in how cold it's going to be overnight so they can prepare accordingly....woolly socks...electric blanket...etc.
Keep up the good work.
Alternatively if you have
Alternatively if you have both the minimum and maximum projections, why not let us have both :-)
Hi there - yes we are
Hi there - yes we are removing the "max" from overnight. It was part of a trial that just didn't really work! We are going to bring back a temperature range for overnight lows...as sometimes it can be -1 while at the same time +5 in other parts of Auckland. So we're going to do a temperature spread. We don't support breaking Auckland up into regions either - as even the North Shore can have an extreme range of temps based on localised sea breezes and topography. This will be far more accurate as generally speaking most people know if they live in an area prone to frosts etc.
Does that sound good?
Cheers
Philip Duncan
Hooray !! I see 0% precipitation for Tue, Wed, Thu
Finally something to look forward to next week :-)
YEAH RIGHT...
...don't hold your breath...it will change dramatically!!
OMG it's freezing tonight.
OMG it's freezing tonight. Couldn't get to sleep I was so cold and I had to stand under a really hot shower for AGES just to get warm.
Do you think this is going to be a colder winter than last year?
walks
could we go for a long walk tomorrow with out getting wet
Still the risk of a couple
Still the risk of a couple isolated showers, more so at the end of the day - otherwise a mostly dry day!

Washing
Hopfeully today (Sat 19 March) will be an OK day for washing in Auckland? We've already had one shower so I hope thats it for the rest of the day!
washing
Good morning,
Showers seem scattered over Auckland this morning with hits and misses in places. Should gradually ease up throughout the day with longer dry spells.Hopefully the breeze should help dry the washing later as well :)
Cheers

Auckland
A beautiful clear Auckland night until heading west into a few spits of rain.
Looks much better in Auckland
Looks much better in Auckland Tues-friday at this stage,it be good to finally get rid of the nasty SW flow by sunday.
Wind speed
We've had a couple of squalls tonight in Meadowbank, I thought the roof might lift at one point.
Also a couple of times this evening we've had precipitation so loud on the roof that I couldn't hear my children talking (not very quietly!). Rain has never been loud on the roof in this house before so I wonder if it was hail. It was too dark out to see properly.
All these weather prediction questions.....
Wow... Its not enough to have a an awesome and free website to use? You all want personalised predictions as well??? Be happy with what you have and give these guys a break :)
Rain in Auckland?
Hi there, I live in Hamilton and was wondering if it was worth taking a punt and driving through to Auckland for my sons soccer game this morning at 10am .... the game is dependant on rain? How's Auckland doing this morning? Hamilton started off with blue skies but now overcast and nippy:-)
Hi there - sorry we check
Hi there - sorry we check comments every hour or two so this was a bit too short notice for us! Hamilton and Auckland sharing similar weather today, long sunny spells then a big heavy shower and those cold winds!
Cheers!

gb trip
hi would you have any idea when a trip from clevedon river to great barrier would be best in the next few weeks? im guessing the low that has just passed would keep the sea choppy on that route through the weekend. thanks
