Hi phill and weather watch is the weather event new zealand getting la nina like?

WW Forecast Team on 29/12/2025 8:43am

Nope, not very much – mostly westerly and south-westerly driven, except for today, which is a bit La Nina like, but the next couple weeks look more W to SW driven.

Why are we still getting Westport USA’s weather ?!

WW Forecast Team on 29/12/2025 9:21pm

Hi Mary, we have removed that broken weather observation. Please note it does not affect the forecasts which are for Westport NZ.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to Phil and all the WW watch team!
Thanks for all the great work you all do, and the way that Phil explains everything so well in layman’s terms on the videos. I’ve followed you since WW’s early days and enjoy learning new things all the time about our weather.
My question is about lightning. I have heard that it is the same all over the world, whether it’s seen as forked lightning or sheet lightning as we do in NZ. Is that true? If so, why do we see it differently?
Thanks

Love you guys so much. You my only weather news, the only other is MSN. Well, you are my go-to check on the weather people.

This is the 3rd year in a row we’ve had great weather coming into the Xmas break….awful for most of the break…then improves once everyone is back at work.

I’m beginning to think the weather God’s hate me
