Hey Phillip thanks very much for the last 6-7 years I’ve followed you and watch your videos every post!! As its YouTube could you upload a bloopers compilation?? This would be quite a laugh! Cheers.

WW Forecast Team on 23/12/2025 12:40am

Hi Mike, thanks very much for the ongoing support – it’s very much appreciated! Might do a bloopers real at some point – but mostly it’s me screwing up the first 15 seconds and then a few bleeps. 😀
Cheers and have a great Christmas/Summer

Hey Phil thanks for the excellent forecasts. I’ve been getting an error 500 since yesterday for Hamilton and Tauranga forecasts.

WW Forecast Team on 23/12/2025 12:40am

Hi Kat, thanks for that 🙂 Are you still getting that 500 error? We made some backend changes over the weekend which more than likely caused that.
Cheers
Phil

hi guys what would the setup need to be if nelson had strong Southerlies?

WW Forecast Team on 17/12/2025 4:45am

Hey Jet, you need strong high pressure building from Tasmania and moving into the South Island while a stormy low pressure zone lies east of Wellington, that would do it.
