Hey guys, I get the weather is hard to predict at the moment but it’s bloody annoying when the forecast says “Trace” amount of rain and “Partly cloudy. Breezy West to Sou’West winds.” and then it torrentially chucks it down all the way from Mt Wellington to Albany.

WW Forecast Team on 18/04/2024 12:46am

Hi there, appreciate the frustration – but be angry with the Government – it’s Niwa and MetService who have commercialised/blocked access to tax funded radar and tax funded weather data which (as we’ve said for 15 years now) would fix that very problem.

Lobby your local MP or the Government to make change – they have their second review in place now, after entirely ignoring the last review in 2017 which said NZ weather data is expensive and hard to access or use for the good of the public.

We can only do so much as a small business – yet the rainfall data we use is still more accurate overall than Government agencies Niwa and MetService when it comes to rain forecasting. Most accurate = perfection though.

Cheers

Interesting weather in Europe at present: Temperature anomaly between the past Sunday (April 14th) and the following Sunday (April 21st), from around 15 °C too warm to more than 10 °C below average temperature.

Why is my town, Kaiapoi nth Canterbury suddenly showing up with Christchurch weather. Christchurch weather and Kaiapoi vary daily. Raining in chch sunny in Kaiapoi etc etc
Is this now your weather forecast for Kaiapoi, another cities?

WW Forecast Team on 15/04/2024 9:24pm

Hi there, we’re not sure why this has happened. We’ve had another person contact us with a similar issue, where it shows some local data but then the forecasts are for a larger location close/nearby. We’re looking into it, so thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Regards,

Hi there,
Is there a way to change the units of measure eg wind in knots?
Thanks

WW Forecast Team on 15/04/2024 4:18am

Hi Ian, no “knot” yet lol 🙂
Working on it though and hope to bring an upgrade later this year.
Cheers
