Before asking us a question:
We love to have comments and questions posted here at WeatherWatch.co.nz - but before you ask a long range weather question (ie, beyond our 10 day forecast above) please check our interactive maps page first! This link will take you to our Rain, Wind, Swell, Temperature maps and more - going out 10 days.

Not common like every day or anything but in the big scheme of things Christchurch does get strong NW winds from time to time, especially in the spring. So yeah it's fine.

Hi there That depends where
Hi there
That depends where for exactly. If you go to the metservice website, each center has a section called "past weather". You can click on that and find info for the last 30 days.
Any more then that and you will need to contact Metservice directly or NIWA.
Hoep that helps.
Cheers

Hi there, when does
Hi and thanks for the
Hi and thanks for the questions. In NZ there is no single day that is the "official" start to a season. The meteorological start is on December 1st, the astrological start is Dec 22 this year and Mother Nature has already brought summer temperatures and summer rainfall into some regions, although much of the South Island is still caught up in a spring pattern (which is fairly normal as the Southern Ocean is stormy until late December). To get a December storm in NZ is fairy common - but the month isn't usually overly unsettled with more high pressure rolling in.
Next week the storm in the Southern Ocean is big - but still a big chunk of NZ may not be overly impacted severely with more hot, sunny, weather in some places.
Cheers

Always seems hotter

Easy solution - just use our forecast for Hastings instead? Or even your suburb within Hastings. There's a reason why we exist :)

You guys actually rock -
breezy winds for Auckland

Thanks for the nice comment!
Thanks for the nice comment! :)
Auckland will always / often have breezy southwesterly winds, much like Christchurch can get a fresh easterly to spoil a nice summers day.
Only thing is Christchurch has the Southern Alps to the west giving warm days when the wind comes from that direction.
Hopefully a nice still day coming your way soon :)
Cheers

ha ha the weather forecasts
Cold nights
Hi there, we had a bit of
Hi there, we had a bit of sou'west change this week which did pull in some colder air. Hard to notice it during the day with all the sunshine, but at night with clear skies and light winds the colder air is sinking. The South Island has already had this colder air flushed away by warm nor'westers, the North Island will see the overnight lows lift up this weekend.
Here's tonight's map for you - and thanks for the support, we look forward to growing our forecasting services in 2020 starting with seasonal/climate updates which we will put our for the first time next week. It's designed to be quite simplistic and we look forward to feedback on it as we progress through 2020 :)

They are basically all forecasting for a very similar location but the best one is probably the first one that comes up as Waitomo Caves, Otorohanga. Looks great for Nov 30 at this very early stage :)

No worries at all, we've removed that station so within an hour it should have gone for you. Let us know how you get on. And yes incredible hail storms today, the damage has been significant around Timaru, now it's moving into Ashburton and towards Christchurch.

Your Wx site.
Metservice "new updated site
Hi Ian, thanks for this. We
Hi Ian, thanks for this. We are making a big upgrade to our website this summer, but it's mostly to do with making the website work faster, work smarter and be more secure. Our upcoming upgrade is the biggest in 10 years and is needed to keep the website working (it will seriously crash under the weight of data if we keep it this way). Hopefully most people can see why we needed to upgrade and will still find everything they need.
We are a bit surprised so many millions of dollars went into the MetService site for such little change. It's also the third major change to the MetService website this decade so far! This is the number one issue WW has with the two Government forecasters though - so much wasted money for no real return on the tax payer who owns them. And still they won't freely share data we have all already paid for.
Cheers

i have a relative in christchurch
It wasn't overly strong
It wasn't overly strong compared to tornadoes you hear about in the USA but for us in NZ it would have been a bit of a jolt to the system. It would have been an EF0 or EF1 at best.
WW
thanks
Christchurch has indeed had
Christchurch has indeed had tornadoes in the past, a few of them.
Here's a list I compiled once, some dates I have information for, other's I have just a date. I've also included a few in the wider Canterbury region:
1962 - Tornado in Chch (information limited)
1975 - (tornado in Governors Bay, Lyttleton Harbour)
1983 - two tornadoes hit Chch, mainly Halswell
1994 - Tornado in Barry's Bay, Banks Peninsula
1999 - Tornado reported at Ruapuna near Mayfield, Mid Canterbury
1999 - Funnel cloud lifted roof tiles and blew a few windows out in Avonside
2002 - A landspout tornado seen west of Chch, another mesocyclonic tornado dropped down near Tai Tapu for a time
Beyond that I've seen various funnels and there have been other tornadic events about the Canterbury region since I've been looking out for them. They have always happened and will continue to do so :)
Cheers
Aaron
thanks for that

One day of rain doesn't reverse a year of below normal rainfall. Hopefully some downpours bring relief to those that need it most but it's hit and miss.

Saturday 16/11
Morning Allen, it's looking
Morning Allen, it's looking mainly dry but rain and showers south of Auckland might come up as far north as the Auckland region for a time - so we can't say a totally dry day (even though it does look mainly dry). Based on the rain maps right now it looks like you should be able to play but it's a little borderline as to how far north these showers might go. It's on your side for now though!
