Mikayla on 22/10/2025 6:25pm

It looks like the wind is going to be quite severe in Palmerston North for today (23rd October) – will there be any warnings issued?

WW Forecast Team on 22/10/2025 8:22pm

Will be blustery – a warning is always possible but the worst of the winds should be east and south of PN.
Cheers

Really Phil.. Are we gonna get blown to smithereens tomorrow in chch?

WW Forecast Team on 22/10/2025 10:22am

Hi Daniel, damaging winds are possible in Christchurch on Thursday – although nor’westers can be a bit unpredictable by sometimes bringing pockets of calmer areas to some places as they pass over the Southern Alps, but this set-up has a high chance of reaching severe gale.
Cheers,
– WW

Will there be any harsh impacts regarding the wind in the Selwyn region of Canterbury?

WW Forecast Team on 22/10/2025 7:47am

Hi there, yes it’s certainly possible – please check out our video today as we cover Canterbury in extra detail.

Kia ora Philip. Is there a surf/swell prediction on your site? I know you guys do enough already but its so accurate and informative and most surf sites are pathetic. Windy is reliable though. Thanks heaps and keep up the great work!

WW Forecast Team on 21/10/2025 7:51pm

Kia ora Kev, the team at Ripple recently gave us these maps to use: https://www.weatherwatch.co.nz/maps-radars/marine/ripple Hope you find them helpful! We also have PredictWind on our site too (on the same page). We are working to improve this page in the new year too, thanks to the team at Ripple.
Cheers
Phil
