Wind speed

We've had a couple of squalls tonight in Meadowbank, I thought the roof might lift at one point.

Also a couple of times this evening we've had precipitation so loud on the roof that I couldn't hear my children talking (not very quietly!). Rain has never been loud on the roof in this house before so I wonder if it was hail. It was too dark out to see properly.

Rain in Auckland?

Hi there, I live in Hamilton and was wondering if it was worth taking a punt and driving through to Auckland for my sons soccer game this morning at 10am .... the game is dependant on rain? How's Auckland doing this morning? Hamilton started off with blue skies but now overcast and nippy:-)

wwadmin on Wed, 16/05/2012 - 11:40

Hi there - sorry we check

Hi there - sorry we check comments every hour or two so this was a bit too short notice for us! Hamilton and Auckland sharing similar weather today, long sunny spells then a big heavy shower and those cold winds!

Cheers!

gb trip

hi would you have any idea when a trip from clevedon river to great barrier would be best in the next few weeks? im guessing the low that has just passed would keep the sea choppy on that route through the weekend. thanks

wwadmin on Wed, 16/05/2012 - 11:42

Hi there - it depends on how

Hi there - it depends on how much time you need to do it. There is a high coming in next week from around Monday to Thursday, but it may not be perfectly settled. As we head into winter the sunny spells will be shorter lived. We'll have a general June prediction out in about 10 days too.

Cheers

p.s Keep an eye on our Maps link at the top of the page, has wind, rain and swell maps for anywhere in the world!

Hi there - an active line of

Hi there - an active line of heavy rain formed late this morning from Northland to Waikato - but it was more to Auckland's east so only grazed the city with a few spits of rain and dark threatening clouds.

It's now tracking away from Auckland to the south east so we have blue sky (note our forecast changed a couple of hours ago to reflect this, others are still saying thundery rain this afternoon).

However, there are bands of rain yet to come in - the next one is expected this evening and another two or three overnight and into Tuesday morning. So long dry spells then the potential for thunder and heavy rain, then another long dry spell etc.

Cheers

Good morning,
Can you explain to me what Precip is ?, i see it come up alot.
Regards

wwadmin on Mon, 14/05/2012 - 08:13

Hi Jennifer - it's short for

Hi Jennifer - it's short for 'precipitation' and it's used because we don't always know how that precipitation will fall - as rain, hail, snow, showers, drizzle etc - or sometimes all of the above! So that one word is best to sum it all up.

Cheers

Hi,
Wondering whether next week there will be any dry days to look forward to in Auckland :-)

Guidance suggests late next week (Friday and Saturday) may be dry at this stage, it is a while away however.

Cheers WW

Guest on Fri, 11/05/2012 - 09:38

We have SW right till friday

We have SW right till friday according to metservice,I believe it too,like 10 years ago May was like this.

Guest on Fri, 11/05/2012 - 07:35

Always note how inaccurate

Always note how inaccurate the 5th day is,the sun icon will change to clouds and SWers undoubtably.(its always or almost a sun icon)

wwadmin on Fri, 11/05/2012 - 08:42

Which just goes to show how

Which just goes to show how much our forecast team add to the raw data - and this is why we don't do a 10 day forecast for any centre in the country, the long range models still need more work.

Cheers

ECMWF shows its will be SW

ECMWF shows its will be SW again in Auckland mid next week again for another extended period...it sucks.

Guest on Wed, 09/05/2012 - 11:10

Dont think thunderstorms

Dont think thunderstorms under a weak ridge,it'll be just cloudy then.

wwadmin on Wed, 09/05/2012 - 11:18

Hi there, just raw data in

Hi there, just raw data in for those days at this stage, we are waiting until early afternoon for some extra data. Agree re: Sunday but there is thunder potential for early next week thanks to a big Southern Ocean low which will spread across the entire nation. Check for our next forecast update around 1pm

Guest on Mon, 07/05/2012 - 20:33

Paihia Country Rock Festival

Hi Philip
Heading over to Paihia at the weekend for the annual Rock festival which is very much a outdoor event i.e dancing in the streets.
Is it too much to hope for the beautiful weather of the past few weeks to continue

wwadmin on Mon, 07/05/2012 - 11:51

Hi there - at this stage the

Hi there - at this stage the forecast is looking pretty good actually - mostly sunny, a few clouds and a less than 10% chance of showers. The pattern later this week and into Saturday is still a little messy, so feel free to check back for updates or click on the Whangarei forecast on the right hand side of the page.

Cheers

Fri 11th May

MetService says it will be wet, you say it will be sunny & dry - these are very opposite - who should I believe?

Guest on Mon, 07/05/2012 - 18:07

It be horrible SW

It be horrible SW pattern,means it be overcast with a few showers and windy,typical Auckland weather.

wwadmin on Mon, 07/05/2012 - 11:50

Hi there - at this stage

Hi there - at this stage Friday and Saturday are a little uncertain but none of the data we use suggests a very wet day. 40% risk of a shower on Friday otherwise cloudy periods and sou'westers at this stage - check back for updates though, as the weather pattern at the end of the week is a little messy.

Cheers

Guest on Wed, 02/05/2012 - 14:31

1 Degree tonight

On the Waitakere part of the Auckland forecast on metservice, it says it will get down to 1 degree tonight. I live in Titirangi, would the 1 degree be in the ranges, or the surrounding suburbs on the edges of the ranges, like Titirangi and Glen Eden etc..

wwadmin on Wed, 02/05/2012 - 15:24

Hi there - we think most

Hi there - we think most parts of Auckland will be around 4 to 7 degrees overnight. Some isolated inland areas, like Henderson Valley, may drop a degree or two lower. Unsure about where exactly it will be 1 but most likely in the valleys out West.

Cheers

Guest on Wed, 02/05/2012 - 17:18

Thanks. Could the 1 degree be

Thanks.

Could the 1 degree be at whenuipai air force base, where the readings for Waitakere are taken (which is hardly out west, more north shore)

wwadmin on Wed, 02/05/2012 - 18:26

Who knows! But I we aren't

Who knows! But I we aren't predicting 1 at Whenuapai tonight, absolutely agree it's more North Shore than West Auckland (although people who live there may not agree!). Whenuapai may get down to 3 or 4 though.

Guest on Wed, 02/05/2012 - 19:30

Another one of those

Another one of those Metservice Mysteries...

if they were going to do a forecast for out west, you would think they would take it from somewhere in the suburbs, Henderson or New Lynn perhaps.

Weather - 12th May Auckland (Evening)

I am trying to find out what the weather may be like on the evening of the 12th of May in Auckland.
I looked at the rain map, but couldnt find the info.

Would you be able to advise the conditions?

Guest on Tue, 01/05/2012 - 13:57

A good chance it will be SW

A good chance it will be SW (like today) with showers or cloudy periods with straight easterlies,thats all we seem to get lately.this will cover all bases.

wwadmin on Thu, 26/04/2012 - 17:33

A bit too far away

Sorry, not just yet. That's a bit too far away to make any real sound prediction. By the time Monday rolls around, you will see some of the first bits of information on that day.

Cheers, Howard

Sunday 11:30am

Hey guys, going to do the skywalk on the skytower at this time. Was wondering if the rain would hold off. Chances?

wwadmin on Thu, 26/04/2012 - 15:42

Breezy, but it should be dry

I think chances for showers are few and far between. So I think your chances are pretty good for a being rain-free at that time.

Have fun. You are braver than I. My knees get weak just THINKING about doing that. Yikes.

Cheers, Howard

Guest on Fri, 27/04/2012 - 12:05

Thanks

Cheers mate, trying not to think about it.. haha!

GARDEN NEEDS RAIN IN AUCKLAND, ANY CHANCE OF SOME

My garden is very dry, there has not been much rain at all lately. Any chance that the prediction of rain might come off. Live in Avondale and am using hose on newly planted shrubs every other day.

wwadmin on Thu, 26/04/2012 - 15:49

Chances should stay put

Best chances are Saturday morning and Monday morning.

I think the Monday precip chances are pretty solid. Saturday morning precip chances may have to come off, but I would say that's not real likely. I think there will be at least some chance for precipitation.

So, you should be getting some rain over the next few days.

Cheers, Howard

Monday Outdoor Photoshoot

Hi Guys. We have a outdoor photoshoot booked for Monday morning out where we live in Pukekohe. Is it going to be a mixed bag out here as it will be in Auckland, or should we look for alternative indoor locations?
We often do not know which city weather report to go with (Auck or Ham) as we are in the middle.

Guest on Thu, 26/04/2012 - 13:40

Hamilton be the better option

Hamilton be the better option as it be windier in auckland.

wwadmin on Thu, 26/04/2012 - 12:31

Looking wet

I wish I had better news for you, but it's looking a bit showery on Monday. Especially in the morning. As the day wears on, it may ease off. However, you could run out of daylight before you run out of shower chances.

You probably want to plan for an indoor shoot.

Cheers, Howard

Guest on Mon, 30/04/2012 - 14:07

Great morning outside with

Great morning outside with shoot :-) No rain, overcarst with a slight breeze. Perfect!
