Weather Forecast for Whakatane

No relief especially if youre in Auckland.

That's spring for ya!  Our Sunday forecast has 20% but some data today says 0.  We're keeping it at 20% though due to the instability at the moment.  May not be until November that we start seeing the 0s return more frequently.  :)

Ha, yeah that doesn't sound too pleasant.  At this stage the data is a bit conflicted but does appear that a weak front or area of showers will pass by.  About a 60% chance at this stage of showers - I suggest checking this evening.  We get a great data update around 5pm which we apply to all of our 6 day forecasts.   

So long story short - looks like a few showers developing, then clearing later on.  Nothing too major but may wet the ground again.

Hi there, the latest data just came in and while it looks as though showers may move in during the day, the winds should slowly ease back by evening.  Not a particularly nasty day - but possibly not too pleasant either... typical spring weather!

- WW

Hi there - yes we do have plans to launch an app - infact possibly 3 Apps (definitely 2).

The first one will simply be a basic version of our website (working to get it built now) so you can access our forecasts, maps, news, photos and weather videos.  And unlike the others we won't be charging for our app (we don't think it's right to charge for an app if the same information can be accessed on your website for free, just seems wrong)

The other app, or apps, will contain exclusive content mostly unavailable on our site - so will have a minimal cost for those who think it's worth it (which it will be!). 

Cheers

As the last 3 days say fine with possible showers,no doubt southwesterlies as well.

Daylight savings has caused a few issues which we're urgently resolving.  Hope to have this fixed today at some point - in the meantime you can see the full forecast here: http://www.weathermap.co.nz/general-forecast/new-zealand/auckland

We apologise for the inconvenience - it's a real pain!

Your more in the flow there so would likely catch a bit more of the weather this system is producing.

Still, pretty much at the same time as your comment was posted Auckland did start to catch alot more showers and drizzle and we updated accordingly.

Hopefully we do a good job for you this weekend! :)

Hi there - timing is everything for the 6th and this far out we have to rely on those models a lot.  Based on the current models it looks as though a pleasant start to the day with clouds and winds building, then rain by evening.  However this far out that front could arrive 24 hours earlier or even 48 hours later!  So that's why we focus so much on the 6 day forecast, until technology is better with 10 days for New Zealand.   Hope that helps for now!

Cheers

Can't trust computers eh! :D All good now, cheers!

We think winds will turn more westerly for Sunday and Monday - but sou'westers develop late Monday and last to Friday potentially.  We have full details tomorrow morning from 7am about the cooler change coming next week for NZ

Hi there - you're best to click on our Maps section at the top of the page. There you can see chance of rain, how windy it will be and the size of the swells.   At this stage we have a 40% chance of showers with a SSE wind averageing 25 to 30km/h on land. 

Cheers

A good forecast shouldn't be changing!!  But our forecasts are updated several times a day - and this system has 100% stalled.  So everything that was forecast for today, Weds and Thurs, have now all been delayed 12 to 24 hours as this very large high moves off us.  All last week and even yesterday the latest data indicated this would happen today - but it looks as though it's holding on. Of course with the high holding on longer the showers that were supposed to spread further today have started to fizzle out as they run out of steam.  A complicated few days ahead weatherwise.

Hi there, not really sure that far out. In the longest of the long ranges models it is hinting at generally higher areas of pressure that are fairly constant. So extreme types of weather could be counted out i.e. heavy rain or gales. There are also hints that there will be periods of southwesterlies followed by northwesterlies then reverting back to the southwest again.

Friday 5th may be a building pattern before a frontal system so increasing cloud with northwesterly winds and a low risk of showers perhaps but that's a pretty long shot. Feel free to check back in closer to the time! :)

Cheers

Am not sure how things were looking this morning but agree it's gonna be a fairly dismal week for the North Island and the forecasts seems to reflect that above. Cheers! :D

Aaron

At this stage it's looking dry mostly although there is the risk of a shower. It is still 5 days away so a little hard to nut out at this point in time. There is some pressure being applied to the situation with a low to the north and another system to the west of New Zealand around that time. So if they speed up the situation could change but hopefully it doesn't deteriorate as we get closer to Saturday.

Cheers
Aaron

Higher then 20 deg's eh? There could be a few nice days perhaps later this coming week. Not sure about the temperature getting over 20 but 18's could be on the cards. We still aren't really near warm summer like temperatures yet as we head into the end of September, just a case of waiting it out for a few months really!

Cheers

Looks like anticyclonic weather next Sunday so bets are on for settled weather with perhaps sunny skies. It is a while out though and you can get cloudy gloomy days with anticyclones depending on the airflow. Keep an eye out on here for the latest forecasts and hopefully it works out!

Cheers
Aaron

Hi, looks great at this stage - a few clouds and nor'east winds.  Could be a little bit windy and cool if it clouds over, but at this stage going for about 16 or 17 degrees wth sun and cloud :)

 Thanks for that - and apologies for it not being in the forecast. Wind direction didn't quite go as planned so a few showers clipping Auckland (mostly near the western coastline).  Looks like they'll continue overnight but nothing much.  Typical anyticyclonic gloom!

Hi there - at this stage summer may be a bit like winter and spring - no strong dominating weather pattern.  There were talks of El Nino forming and while that still looks likely at the moment it appears to be on hold.  El Nino isn't especially hot for Auckland as it brings more cloud and westerlies into the city.  But we think this summer will be hotter than last summer.  We will have a much better idea as we head towards November.

Hi there - thanks for the question.  Basically Facebook is better set up for small updates that don't require an actual news story - for example "Band of heavy showers about to hit Wellington in the next hour".  However we are looking at migrating those updates from Facebook onto our WW page too - so you dont have to be on FB to see those updates (but you would need to be signed up if you wanted to comment on FB updates).  So hopefully by the end of the year or early next year FB and WW will be combined on our homepage - as we don't like anyone missing out on ANY of our updates!

Cheers
Phil

P.S - thanks for your support! :)  Much appreciated.

20% of the city should see a light shower or drizzle patch today - but no thunderstorms or major downpours for Auckland. :)

WW

Just some big but low level clouds moving through - the thickness makes them look extra dark and ominous but nothing much around Auckland at the moment, 80% dry with a few brief showers here and there.

Cheers
Phil
