Weather Forecast for Christchurch

For Auckland? Correct. But that will mainly be for southern rural parts of the region, the CBD may be a tad higher.

Hi there

Any information like that you can find out here: https://www.journeys.nzta.govt.nz/traffic

Hi there

You would have to make a trip up to the closest ski field I would imagine, not too much snow low down at the moment. So Mt Hutt perhaps.

Cheers
Aaron

G'day there, thanks for that!

No nothing decent in the pipeline at the moment unfortunately. Perhaps towards the end of the month but that's a while away so can't really give any specifics, naturally the deeper we go into winter you would have to think something will happen, fingers crossed! :)

Good morning John, thanks for the support it's much appreciated :) The site shouldn't be running slower for you but we have had a couple of glitches lately, and the maps we get from MetOcean (now owned by MetService) are indeed taking longer to load up these days (sadly outside our control). The good news is we are moving to Amazon platform later this year and it will mean our site will operate far better. Thanks for your support and if you're finding the site especially slow please don't hesitate to let us know again (and which area seems to be loading too slowly for you).

Cheers

Hi there, thanks for your kind feedback and for your question. At this stage there isn't a forecast we can give you specifically but the general theme so far this season has been fairly normal rainfall, but milder than usual. So you may get some brief rain but hopefully it will be as you say :) Really won't know until the last days of June any rough idea for the area that far out. 

Cheers :)

Hi, we can confirm we do have a fault with some CURRENT/NOW weather observations. It will either show blank (as per your message) or it may pull data from a weather station much futher away. We've logged this fault with IBM and hope to have a fix very soon. Apologies for the issue.

Cheers

EDIT: 1:35pm Monday.  Hi there, we can confirm we have a fault with IBM's data feed for some weather observations. Because our app and website are designed to find your nearest location and display it, it means if any go offline it goes looking further away for the next nearest one, which explains those random obs you're listing. We've logged the fault and hope to get a fix soon for it.

Cheers for your help!

Hi there, thanks very much for letting us know about the issue. While it's amazing having such a huge network of PWS across NZ we do have a few bugs due to the old Wunderground platform these stations are hosted on. IBM has bought Wunderground and they are hoping to overhaul the observations page but perhaps WeatherWatch may start hosting the weather stations ourselves (that way we can not only display your data but we could also give back to you historical data for that station and trends, as a two way win/win).

There are some other people who have also said their PWS isn't showing up on our network - so we may need to update the feed. Will do some digging! 

Cheers

(PS we do have some MetService data in there from airports, but it is delayed by an hour to 3 hours).

Good morning. Thanks for the udpate, it does appear to be showing a higher number. We've removed it now, please let us know if it's still showing an incorrect temperature later today (may take an hour or so to disappear).

Thanks for letting us know!

Cheers

WW

Hi there - Our current Auckland forecast shows 30% chance of rain. Do you have a screenshot of your incorrect reading - we need to fix it cleary, we don't want to let you down! :) 

Cheers

Hi there, we never supported MetService or Auckland Civil Defence's commercial hype around this non event today. We also think the wind blast in Northland was most likely a microburst - but MetService gets commercial rather than scientific in these moments, as we experienced in both the Albany and Hobsonville tornado's which were deadly but they got technical rather than admitting fault. A shame we all are FORCED to fund this system.

Hey John, thanks very much for the message. Hope your daughter got on ok desite the isolated pockets of rough weather up north today!

Cheers

Phil D

Hi there

Not likely.

Hi there, potentially in the AM when some heavy downpours with isolated thunderstorms track across the city and regin. However it's not widespread for the upper North Island so not every part of Auckland will be affected by the heaviest downpours, but the region has the some low to moderate risk of flooding due to the localised heavy downpours. Rain eases/breaks up in the PM.

Cheers

WW

We had an issue with a data feed this morning which crashed the site - it's all back up and running again now! Apologies for the fault.

Cheers

Hi there

No snow or sleet forecast for Westport, could be tiny bits of hail perhaps?

Cheers
Aaron

Hi there

That story is in reference to a low crossing the country this coming week.

Dunedin itself won't get any snow, could be a dusting on the top of surrounding hills perhaps Tuesday morning (tomorrow morning) then it will quickly clear.

Thanks for the kind words! :)

WW

Heavy rain and possible thunderstorms will be the thing to watch at this stage, timings will have to be fine tuned as we get closer to Wednesday.

WW

Hi there, no as our forecast says snow is possible to 300m - so potentially a flurry, or sleet, in Dunedin overnight in the hilltop suburbs especially, but nothing esignificant is expected in the city with the overnight low being too mild, around 4 or 5 degrees. Could be a few snow showers to lower levels if the winds are gusty enough.

Cheers

WW

Hi there, yes there may be. We'll have more details on Sunday. Keep an eye on our detailed Christchurch forecasts for more details, including hourly wind speeds and rain confidence for the next 10 days specific to where you are.

Cheers
