Weather Forecast for Wellington

Hi there

That's 10 to 11 days away so anything I say now will more then likely change by the time the 30th comes around, becomes a little redundant.

However in saying that this is what I'm seeing currently. Friday has some rain gradually clearing away. Sat and Sun have areas of cloud, perhaps some sun, perhaps even the risk of a light shower or two otherwise mainly dry, winds moderate from the southwest.

But yeah, this will most likely change.

Hi there

Not sure regarding last night sorry, I personally wasn't on board then.

As for today you are right, initial modeling showed showers clearing this afternoon but clearly they nearly hung around till evening. Just a choatic day where not everything went to plan, it happens sometimes :(

Hi there, when the long range thunderstorm risk is low or isolated it's not usually put into the forecasts as otherwise people tend to focus on it as the main thing. Even this risk is quite low end risk, just wanted to mention it due to the recent thunderstorms. For the most part they are weakening already but there just may be a few isolated flashes here and there.

Hi there, it's not in our forecast at this stage,keep an eye on the daily tax funded Thunderstorm Outlook at MetService too.

Hi there, yes correct the high that comes in next week doesn't last long. We get a southerly towards the end of next week then it may start to ease again by next weekend. Won't be able to lock in until Monday.

Feel free to check out our Auckland forecasts, we update them every day. Might give some insight into what is happening for Auckland re rain or dry weather coming up.

Auckland being where it is can often get rain or showers due to nothing blocking weather coming in from the west where most of out weather comes from. The east coast of NZ is protected by mountains to the west so naturally anyone out east can experience nice sunny / dry days more often but often nights are colder.

G'day there

Saturday looks cloudy, the odd shower then rain from late afternoon, easing overnight. Snow to 800m in the evening then lowering to 500m overnight. Brisk to strong northwesterly winds.

Sunday morning sees showers and snow flurries to 500m clear then afternoon sunny spells, winds fresh from the southeast.

Hope that helps!

Cheers

The air does get pretty cold from Saturday afternoon but the rate of precipitation falls quite a lot also as that really cold air arrives. Meaning as the cold air arrives it's just a shower or two at times.

I would say a chance of a flurry to sea level (10 to 20% chance) but mostly you are going to be looking at a dusting on the top of the Port Hills once this system passes through after the weekend. So typical cold winter stuff really.

Hi there

One model I'm seeing shows conditions are looking mostly cloudy and at this stage mainly dry, late afternoon / evening a few showers move in from the west. Winds from the northwest.

Another model I'm seeing indicates rain or showers for much of the day, may need a few more days yet for this information to solidify and something more certain to come through for me to tell you.

Come back and ask in a day or two if you like or simply search "Rotorua" in the search function on the home page, that should tell you what you need to know :)

Hi there, it's to do with the timing. It groups them into time zones so you can track the movement and if the thunderstorms are increasing or decreasing, so it's a time line basically. There is a key on the map which should show the times.

Kind regards

WW

Hi there, we have more thunderstorms and squalls (sudden gusty weather) coming today. Just like yesteday they will be a bit hit and miss. The risk finally eases later today and by tomorrow we should be done with them.

Cheers

WW

There is a chance today of a few more but thunderstorms most of the time are a 50 / 50 thing, so you might get something else but equally you may not.

WW

Hi there

For the western North Island, yes there is a chance. May or may not get something.

Hi there

Not sure on the average for New Plymouth sorry, woud be a metservice or niwa question as they hold stats.

With a low winds rotate clockwise, in a high winds rotate anti clockwise. For information on lows please refer here:

Hi there Carolyn, no at this stage we expect temperatures to gradually lift overnight. Here's the latest temperature map for you. Stay warm!

Cheers

WW

Hi there, the thunderstorm is due to the large low now deepening in the Tasman Sea. We may have another one overnight, but at the moment it's looking a bit quiet out there. Keep an eye on the live lightning trackers we have on our website and app, they are both updated every 60 seconds.

Good morning, there are some thunderstorm risks along the entire western coastline of the North Island this weekend, mostly later today and across Sunday. They will be scattered / isolated, or "hit and miss", so a bit hard to lock one in for where you live. Today's risk is higher the further south you go. Tomorrow it's generally along the western coastline from Taranaki to Northland. We have some maps indicating the general risk areas in the lead story on our site right now.

Cheers

Good morning, it's borderline for snow in Dunedin today but it's just slightly too warm at the moment. It's more likely above 200 metres and if any flurries go lower it's unlikely to settle. Also, the snow level should lift to 300m this evening.

Cheers
