Weather Forecast for Whanganui

Hi there

It'll calm down at some point but when that will be I'm not sure. I tend to stick with forecasting the next 5 to 6 days ahead and leave it at that.

Hopefully it calms down for you soon! :)

Cheers

Hi Zane

The forecast is basically the forecast so 24 it is. There will be variables across the Auckland region. It may get a fraction warmer in northern suburbs perhaps? Western areas may be a touch cooler if anything due to a west to southwest breeze.

Thanks for the kind words, you have a great Christmas! :)

Hi there

The key is in your answer, warned of "possible heavy showers / thunder". It was a possibility, not a guarantee. I live in Christchurch and noticed a bit more then drizzle with the change as it moved through.

And just to note MS I believe didn't have a chance of thunder for Wellington and changed it to be more in line with our forecast.

I'm not being critical of that it's a good move but in this game you win some you lose some. Hopefully win more then we lose all forecasters would hope, there are many varying levels to this though.

Thanks for checking in anyway, Merry Christmas!

Hi there, thanks heaps! - really nice of you to say. Hope you have a great break too, and an awesome Christmas, summer and 2020! 

Cheers from Phil and all the WW Team

Hi there, thank you so much - our entire team massively appreciates your support...correction, your AMAZING support :) Thank you - and have a great Christmas, New Year and Summer ahead!

Kindest regards

Kia Ora and thanks heaps for your message. We actually already cover all these areas in two ways. 1) We were the first forecaster in Auckland to live track weather in any suburb - so if a major storm appears in your suburb we'll be live tracking it in our main Auckland forecast, unlike any other NZ forecaster. 2) We have detailed forecasts for your specific location - not just west, east, north, south, but specifically where you are. Combine the two and you have a great forecast for Auckland. Yes Auckland is a large region, but it's a major mistake to split the city into North, South, East and West when the city is just 1km wide at one point. So WW covers the entire region every day - but get very specific when more intense weather appears within parts of the city/region.

Cheers and thanks so much for the support! Merry Christmas to you too :)

Hi there, today is certainly a miserable one for this time of year but we do have some better weather coming up. Tomorrow is warmer, calmer and drier. Christmas day looks a little cooler but should be dry :) Unfortunately your current set up does match our December and Summer outlook, that conditions will lean both wetter and cooler for you this summer. Here's the full info for you: www.weatherwatch.co.nz/content/new-december-summer-climate-outlook-new-zealand-8-maps

Best thing to do since we are so far out is for me to point you in the direction of these maps:

http://www.weathermap.co.nz/forecast-maps

Click on "Rain" then scroll through the drop down menu to NYE, you can see what type of weather we may expect. Currently it's looking rather anticyclonic and settled. But that could change...... hence it's best to keep an eye on those maps :)

Cheers

Hi there, we have our December and Summer Season forecast out now: www.weatherwatch.co.nz/content/new-december-summer-climate-outlook-new-zealand-8-maps

It's already living up to the December forecast for most places. This cold period will linger into next week then eases - but we are likely having cooler changes off and on for the rest of December. The further north you live the warmer it will be.

Cheers and Merry Christmas to you!

Hi there, we are improving our tide info next year and will be including local tides within our local land forecasts (so you don't have to go to another page). Pretty sure Onehunga will be included in that change. Not sure when this will happen but aiming for the first half of 2020.

Kind regards

Infographics will start up again about mid January. The early morning and late afternoon time slots will be filled with another type of graphic over the xmas / new years period soon! Watch this space.

Latest update is up, check it out! :)

Looks like there was one in the Waikato indeed.

Hi there

Saturday currently has some morning mid level cloud breaking then expect sunny areas and some high cloud, southwesterly winds tend east to northeast in the afternoon. A high somewhere around 16 to 17 degrees.

Hope the day goes well!

Cheers

Hi there and Merry Christmas to you too :) We've had one busy year alright and next year looks even bigger and better. :) As for no videos - don't worry, we continue our news content over this time even though we do have fewer daily updates we still tackle the main issues and we'll definitely be issuing a January forecast before New Year's Eve.

Cheers

Hi there, understand your frustration. These slow set ups where high pressure is very nearby can make for a fine line between showers existing and showers falling apart. If the high grows even just a little in size it can stop these showers from moving in. That's why the percentage is high but you're bang on correct about the direction of these airflows that can stop them arriving. Tuesday is the best chance of rain with low pressure moving in and the lower the pressure the better chances of rain as a general rule - and we have more showers later in the week.  The definition of showers means that they can miss you though - so while our forecast could've been more accurate/helpful over the weekend it was also technically correct. Good luck for some rain in the next 24 hours but overall our Dec and Summer forecast suggests Auckland and Northland will be drier than average.

Cheers

Hi there, it is coming back for sure :) Merry Christmas to you and your family :)

Hi there, we have a fairly fast moving cold front moving in around then. Timing is the hardest part of forecasting when talking days out so the best way to track the highest risk if to click on Friday then click on the Hourly forecasts. Combine that with the rain maps and should work out when the front moves through. To be honest, sometimes exact precise timing of fronts cannot be locked in until the day itself. All the best for Friday! :)

Hi there

Yes a chance in the afternoon today of some thunder, not a garantuee, but a chance.

Cheers
