Hi. Is there some way of finding out where the local weather stations are situated? I’ve tried looking on the map in the app but it’s not very accurate. Thanks

Hi there Pauline – this is the full map of stations we display: https://www.weatherwatch.co.nz/maps-radars/observations/live-observations
You can also try http://www.Wunderground.com which is the actual host for the sites – and allows people to dig down even deeper.
Hope that helps,
Kind regards

Why is there such wildly different forecasts from Metservice and Weatherwatch?

hey there phillip. i been looking at the weather models for next week and some are showing a atmosphric river bearing down hence the rain icon on the auckland forecasts . looks like tasmin/nelson could see the return of severe rain next week after a nearly 2 month break?

1. How can the border of a southerly change be noticed in a weather map? For example, if in your video maps, it’s the blue polar line, what about other forecasters’ weather maps?
2. Why wasn’t a Strong Wind Orange Warning or even a Watch issued for Auckland by MetService last Saturday (13 September) in spite of very strong winds similar to 31 August, when a Strong Wind Orange Warning was issued?

1. It’s usually measured by a steep drop off (or ramp up) in temperatures. The polar air circles Antarctica and is usually held in place south of us by high pressure – these same highs can also work with low pressure to “suck” that polar air northwards. We note that Dan Corbett on TV1 has also introduced the polar boundary (which is a measurement of “air thickness” at a high elevation (5km above sea level).
2. You’d need to talk to MetService as they are tax funded to provide warnings. We warned of the Auckland gales a week in advance, and we often are the only ones to mention damaging winds in Auckland in advance.

Interesting article from “Severe Weather Europe” about the interplay between North and South pole weather and how they influence each other.
And how a stratospheric warming event is about to unfold over the Southern Hemisphere, pushing the Polar Vortex far off center, disrupting its dynamics.

Maybe you can explain that a bit more in one of your climate videos?
Keep up the wonderful work! Carla.

This is a good explainer by a Climate Scientist of repute.
