Thurs 23, says 0% chance of 5.5 ml of rain …
I realise that forecasts are only a ‘best guess’ and can change at any time, but this seems to me on of the weirder ones, would love to know if there is an explanation

WW Forecast Team on 21/04/2026 8:07pm

Hi Anne, our rainfall data each day in the daily totals is actually broken into two segments: Daytime and nightime. So if you see that it means rainfall will be occuring overnight. If you use the rain graphs at RuralWeather.co.nz or in the WeatherWatch App you will be able to make more sense of it.
Kind regards
– WW

Really ! Weather forecast for kaiapoi said 2 days of torrential rain this week. We cancelled holiday to only see today we might possibly get a little shower!!!
How can you get it so wrong?

Luke on 19/04/2026 7:00am

Hey Linda,

Phil explained recently that this current low is very difficult to predict as it is really messy. There has been no forecaster that has correctly predicted any of this weather for more than a day ahead. That’s just the reality of the business sometimes.

Curious on 21/04/2026 1:45am

It would be really appropriate for forecasters to include a confidence level alongside the data. When you look ahead, there’s no way to know whether a 3 day forecast is worth more than a coin flip. I’m sure it varies, but why not share that?

Kat on 21/04/2026 10:15am

The weather in New Zealand changes so much, it would be more realistic to put a ‘changability level’ meter alongside the weather data. That would be a moot point, however. We live in the ”Roaring 40s” and Phil talks a lot about this, too. If WW installed every little thing dreamed up, there would be no room for the weather patterns we come here to see.
For Christine: try going to the rural weather choice in the 3 bars drop down in the upper right corner. Type in your area and ”Bingo”, a closer view of your area weather ten days out. Or just watch the videos.
Good luck

Christine on 18/04/2026 11:45pm

Why does your weather forecast often differ from Met Service.? Very confusing.

Jacques on 19/04/2026 10:23pm

Because they use the forecast models that get it wrong

Christine on 20/04/2026 6:13am

Yours is usually more accurate I have to say. (no idea what forecast models are).What do you use?

Jet on 14/04/2026 11:03pm

Hi weather watch earlier today I checked the forecast for nelson for Sunday and said thunderstorms now it says rain is there any reason why ?
