Weather Forecast for Tauranga

Morning Ted, thanks very much for the feedback and support. Your question is an interesting one, but to be honest it's outside our expertise. We suggest you contact Government Agency NIWA as they have scientists who specialise in co2.  Sorry we can't help further on this one.

Kind regards
Phil

Yes I would take your wet weather gear.

Thanks! :)

Perhaps getting close to that figure but may be just shy at around 20mm. But we'll see, an isolated downpour could mean some spots get over 25mm. For the most part, around 20mm though.

Hi Jeff - Simply look at the hourly forecasts for Saturday as it will be the best guide for you on top of our detailed forecast. It really only shows a moderate risk of an isolated afternoon shower/downpour somewhere in the Auckland region - perhaps more likely inland north of the city or south of the city. At this stage Saturday leans mostly dry.

Cheers

Phil

Hi there, keep an eye on the hourly % of rain as you'll see where the risks are. Any showers that form you can then track on the rain radar.  All the best for tomorrow - hopefully it's a cracker of a day!

Hi there - we are improving the layout and adding better rainfall data we hope by the end of January. So watch this space :) In the meantime, you can also use our website www.RuralWeather.co.nz to really drill down on rainfall totals. It may take 10 seconds to load the page up first time you visit due to so much data (we are lifting that speed early next year too).

Cheers :)

At this stage it may be looking fairly anticyclonic meaning settled. All the details re sun, morning cloud, chance of a shower, temperature etc will come out in the wash as we get closer to the time but for now..... mainly settled, light winds.

Hopefully it ends up being a good day. The above can change being 10 days out so not locked in yet.

Cheers

Yes in that any thunderstorm activity if it does happen may not be till later in the day with a front, may just be the odd shower before then. Keep an eye on your Auckland forecast :)

Hi there

If you've hit those highs it may be possible. Not to discredit your temperature readings but at Metservices North Shore spot it hasn't read any higher then 24.9 degrees over the last 30 days which was on the 5th November, yesterday it got to 23.7.

Go here: https://www.metservice.com/towns-cities/regions/auckland/locations/north-shore

Along the top task bar select "Past Weather" then "Last 30 days". It's not to say your readings are wrong but there are certain requirements in how a thermometer must be set up to get accurate readings, even if it is seemingly in the shade. But you could have a certain microclimate where you are precisely that leads to those highs.

As for the Christmas forecast Phil answered a similar question just yesterday and said this:

"We're aiming to have our first forecast out on Monday :) It will be very generic and about the general theme of highs and lows around the week of Christmas time - but it's at least one step in trying to lock it in!"

Keep up the good work!

Cheers
Aaron

Yep, we're in a bit of a weird weather sandwich - clouds to the north and south - hopefully we're in a sunny bubble for longer :) (Although we do need more rain!)

Hey Graeme - we're aiming to have our first forecast out on Monday :) It will be very generic and about the general theme of highs and lows around the week of Christmas time - but it's at least one step in trying to lock it in!

Hi there - fair question - those maps are more about the trends warmer or cooler overall. We take more time in our detailed main centre forecasts to forecast true maximums (as city roads and buildings make it hotter). The temps they show are for the airport - which is mostly grass with no buildings around, hence the difference,

Cheers :)
WW

Hi there! Not far off now! Out first outlook is usually on the first day of December's second week. So probably next Monday :)  Thanks for the kind support - it means heaps to our small team!

Hi David

They are thickness lines, and mean literally what it says. They stand for the thickness of the atmosphere, cold atmosphere's aren't as thick while hot atmospheres are.

Here's some info on thickness: http://www.theweatherprediction.com/habyhints/148/

Hi there

Am seeing a sun and thunderstorm icon on rural weather but it's for Sunday, not Saturday. Maybe you got the days muddled up?

But anyway, thanks for the kind words!

Cheers
Aaron

Hi there

Looks like a dry morning then some rain or showers moving in during the afternoon. This could change between now and then as it is 5 days away, but thats a simple look at how things are looking for Auckland this coming Sunday.

Cheers
Aaron

Hi there S.H, thank you for your message and we're really glad to have you along. We are modernising some things in January so we hope the changes we make, will make things a little easier to use. Our goal right across next year is to gradually make everything more user friendly. We also run www.RuralWeather.co.nz which has more weather data on it than MetService and Niwa combined and it's entirely free (not paid for with taxes like they are). It takes 10 seconds to load due to so much data on it (and we are addressing the slow launch speed early next year too) but it gives you high level data if you need to drill down beyond the daily WeatherWatch products. It also covers all airports, suburbs and towns too.

Cheers :)

Hi there, we have forecasts for every small part of NZ so just go to our homepage and search for your location. You'll then find a general forecast then Hourly forecasts for Saturday 7th. On top of that, watch our latest weather video to make sense of it all.

Kind regards

WW

If we always matched MetService there would be no need for our service.

Kind regards finding the one that is most accurate for you.
Cheers
WW
