Weather Forecast for Tauranga

Hi there

Temperatures will be around 19 to 20 degrees at 4pm, drifting down to 17 degrees at 7pm. Hitting 15 at 10pm.

You can hit the "hourly forecasts" tab under each day and that will give you a rundown of where the temperatures will be at at what time etc. Looks like I got it about right, I forgot we even had that! lol.

Hope that helps!

Cheers

Hi there, can you please give us the Station ID so we can remove it. We are working to improve weather sensors next year as we do not operate/own any ourselves. Sadly the NZ Government won't give us access to public weather stations we all have to fund so we always have to find alternatives.

Hi there, winds aren't expected to be gale force tonight but will be a bit blustery at times. In knots (below) gale force is 30 and up (red). Auckland looks to be mainly in the 15 to 25 knot bracket. It will be a fairly solid wind in exposed places with a few big gusts overnight - possibly briefly gale force in the most exposed areas (like the Harbour Bridge, hill tops, marine areas, etc). Keep an eye on your hourly forecasts for average wind speeds specific to where you are and use the Wind Maps too to help see where the strongest winds will be and when. The low moving in is also falling apart so damaging winds aren't currently forecast.

Hi there, Saturday is a very tricky day to be accurate about because we have both a band of rain moving in, then the risk of some heavy downpours - but it's hit and miss with dry spells developing. Can't answer your question with any real certainty due to the hit and miss nature of tomorrow. Definitely some chances you'll be ok to play then, but equally there could be a downpour that sets in... frustrating weather to plan things around! Sorry we can't be more specific than that.

Hi there

We can look out for the next 5 to 7 days currently, anything beyond that starts to get a bit hard especially with this type of weather we have at the moment.

Keep an eye on our rain maps if you like, this way you can track areas of rain and where they may move in future. See them here: https://www.weatherwatch.co.nz/forecast-maps/rain

Perhaps mid to late next week conditions are a bit drier :)

Hi there, we just updated a short time ago to say "breezy to brisk" for Saturday (in other words, light in some places but a little blustery in more exposed areas). Gales are possible for a few hours but mostly marine/Hauraki Gulf. The low that is coming in does have strong winds attached but it's also weakening as it comes in.

Cheers!

Hi there

Looks like there will be plenty of high cloud, but areas of mid level cloud too. Some sun may break through at times from afternoon when mid level and high level cloud thins out a touch. The day is looking mainly dry but if a shower or spot of rain were to occur it may happen in the evening as higher level cloud thickens up again but the greatest chance is more overnight. Winds from the ENE and afternoon temperatures are looking in the high teens or early twenties.

It doesn't look overly muggy for Wellington on Saturday, dew points are around 14. That's not totally dry (dry in terms of the air dry) either though. Muggy conditions on Saturday start more about Auckland and especially Northland.

About as much detail as I hope you'll need right now.

Thanks for the kind words! Appreciate it very much! :)

Hi there, accurate forecasts for events and functions really can only be made a few days out, not 10+ days out. Feel free to ask us next week (also for where). Use our rain maps in the MAPS tab too, as they go out 10 days and give you a general idea as to where the highs and lows will be.

Cheers
WW

Weatherwatch wouldn’t exist if we ran the same forecasts, NZers are definitely wanting a second opinion (or first!) from us.

Hi there

Could be an isolated heavy downpour, equally there may only be a few showers. Looks unsettled / quite changable around then. Besides that it's 7 days away so a bit far out yet.

Cheers
Aaron

Haha :) Hi Jenny, the only down side with being a free service means you don't get a discount and we can't guarantee the weather you want...!! :) You may have to wait two more Saturdays to get what you want...next Saturday could also be wet. 
Sorry!

Hi there, yes that's a lot of rain although Auckland City does cope quite well with totals of 100mm in one day so long as it's spread out and not just in a few hours! We don't see 100mm at this stage but certainly there is a very heavy band of rain that *may* stall over Auckland (equally it may not...which is why coming up with a total for Saturday is so hard). It depends very much on the shape and structure of the band of rain...when it's so small but intense you can have 100mm but for an entire region we don't expect that at this stage. We'll be doing extra updates across Saturday iself to stay on top of it too. 

Cheers

Hi there, thanks for the questions. Sorry to hear the weather is bringing you down, it has a habit of being known to do that sometimes! Firstly, the wetter than normal November has been caused by warmer than average Tasman Sea temperatures - and a few other factors - creating extra rain events. The good news is that Queenstown is on the outer edges of the "bad" weather forecast for the rest of November. In fact, Queenstown is expected to be both warmer than average and drier than average in the coming week (even if a bit cloudy at times with a few showers). As for summer, we expect many warmer than average days on the way for Queenstown, but perhaps with a few cooler than normal nights in the mix (has been the pattern past couple of months too). Hope that helps... enjoy the fairly sunny day tomorrow (with a high around 20 degrees).

Cheers :)

Hi there

Yeah isn't looking the best around then, but your talking about something that's 7 to 8 days away and alot can change in that time frame. Sometimes you can lock things in a fair way out but it's been very changeable lately and that doesn't look like changing in the short term, around these times you'll only be able to start locking in forecasts more about 3 or 4 days out.

Hopefully a dry window opens up as we arrive closer to next Friday.

Cheers

Hi there, wow that's a lot for Timaru in any month let alone November. We do have more rain on the way. Current best thinking is that about 50mm may come your way over the next week (possibly more). Hopefully spread out across a few days though, not all in one. Have a look at our weather video out later this morning with Phil as he's taking a detailed look at total expected rainfall across NZ between now and next Wednesday as we track two more large lows coming our way before December. Thanks for the local update, very helpful for us to see personal rainfall totals.

Cheers
WW

G'day there

Looks to be about 50mm, but depending how things go this could be a tad less or a bit more. I'd say a range between 40 to 70mm may be appropriate. Even that could be out at the moment so we'll have to see how things look as we get closer. Still, that's a fair amount of rain considering things are quite wet at the moment.

Cheers
Aaron

Hi there

Is a bit of a 50/50 split with a chance of showers or dry areas, if you do get showers they could be heavy then easing this evening. Nothing too exact sorry, hope you have a great night!

Cheers
Aaron

Hi there, thanks for the question. MetVuw use the same maps we have (and we are looking to display ours in thumbnail style next year as well as other improvements). The biggest problem with the forecast for Saturday (and Sunday to Wednesday for that matter!) is that every day the precise placement of these downpours will shift... so that's why some weather forecasts may show a Rain icon one update, then a Sunny one or sun/showers in the next update. In a set up like this it will be hard to be specific with accuracy until much closer to the time. As it's been for a few days now, this Saturday in Auckland shows a chance of both long dry spells and some heavy slow moving downpours (a bit like today but it could be wetter - or it may be very similar to today, that's what we're yet to lock in due to the slow movement of these very large lows).
Cheers

Hi there

It might be a bit wet but it should be ok. If it's not ok they wouldn't fly :)

Cheers
Aaron

Hi there

Probably best to give it a few more days otherwise you'll be asking every day about how it's changed and do we agree with the latest change. Obviously it is changing a fair bit so chances are it'll change again over the next day or two, might be one of those ones where it's better looked at in more detail tomorrow or Thursday.

Cheers
Aaron
