Weather Forecast for Whakatane

Hi there - take a look at our rain map (by clicking on the Maps button at the top of the page) as it gives you a good view of where the rain is... the latest update show the main rain band offshore at 7pm... but close enough to perhaps bring in a shower or drizzle patch.  Certainly very borderline but the models do still point towards the rain arriving later tonight or Thursday morning.  Fingers crossed for you!

Hi there - thanks very much for your support!  Really pleased to see our forecasts are really helpful for those who like to frequently get outdoors.  We have some more positive additions coming to our forecasts later in the year too (like more details for each day coming up).

Cheers!

They must be predicting a "reverse" foehn wind from the SE, after the warm front passes through.

Hi there - sorry to say but the models are currently predicting a 60% chance of rain or showers - which is fairly high so far out.  But the good news is that the forecast for the 10th is pretty good (at this stage)...which means if the timing is wrong, then the rain may not turn up.  Keep an eye on the rain maps - by clicking on Maps at the top of the page - here's hoping the models aren't accurate this time around!

Cheers

PD

Thanks for your question.

Highs are usually about 23-24 degrees during Feb and March on average and lows about 15-17 at night.

It certainly isn't that at the moment!

Cheers,

Hi there - thanks very much!!  We're going to be adding a lot more detail to the other days as well in the next few months - so you can get a more detailed breakdown of each day.

Thanks again :)

The rain cleared to bright blue sky just after i posted that, but round two is coming over the ranges!

Hi there -the winds will be peaking all morning - but reports are that it's gusty rather than a solid wind.  Conditions to improve this afternoon.

Cheers!

Hi Mandeno - that would be Saturday morning and the afternoon too, but easing later this afternoon.

If you're in the Auckland region please check out our forecasts on WeatherWatch.co.nz but hopefully drier overhead but windy and cool.

All the best for the party.

Cheers

 Hi Willie,

We think skies should be improving into the afternoon and its the wind that will be more the talking point.

Hopefully it improves for the cricket!

Cheers

Hi Joe - its kinda hard predicting something that doesn't really exist already, so we have to rely a lot on the models.  At this stage the data is picking spits of rain, the odd shower, increasing this evening with the bulk of the rain moving in late tonight and then easing sometime Saturday morning - best guess is between 7am and 10am according to the more reliable models.

Cheers

p.s. Glad you like the new site - more improvements coming in the next few months too.

Hi David, yes Sunday may be quite sunny - but it depends on how fast the low passes by. Certainly the wind direction is favourable and all the models back it.  The one other sticking point may be haze - as we had today due to the strong winds.

Cheers

Very good point - it was something we were trialling, rather than having an overnight low that is only briefly reached, we wanted to give a temperature that reflects a "general" overnight temperature. 

We are changing how we display the highs and lows - as it's confusing having the low first - and will probably change to "Min" then, as it's causing confusion.

Cheers!

Hi there -  the forecast, according to our long range maps (http://www.weatherwatch.co.nz/maps) does show another large Tasman Sea low moving in - but not as aggressive as this Saturday's low.  Keep an eye on the rain maps in that link as it's quite helpful for planning outdoor events.  Fingers crossed for you!

Cheers from WW
