Hi Troy, thanks heaps for the awesome feedback – it’s really appreciated! Enjoy doing the flyovers too, always fun learning the geography of the planet 🙂 Thanks for taking the time to write in.

Hi Kitteh, thanks for the support 🙂 Humidex is primarily a summer/heat thing. Once it gets too cold the Humidex no longer works (and we switch to wind chill, although we don’t display that in our forecasts but we do in our app, in Temperatures under “Trends”). So Humidex needs humidity but also warmth for it to start working. 🙂

Hi Jared, thanks for the support 🙂
The high pressure zones do show some signs of shifting further north but the anticyclonic flow around them can then bring in westerlies for Hawke’s Bay. What we really need is for a break in the highs to allow a Tasman or Sub-tropical low to move on it. That’s what will bring in the easterlies. Otherwise you want the highs to go much further south of NZ, so they help bring in easterlies to Hawke’s Bay.
Cheers,

Hi Philip,
Welcome to our site!
1): You can try looking for them on our observations page here: https://www.weatherwatch.co.nz/maps-radars/observations/live-observations OR if you use our new app it will display a map with the nearest ones to your specific chosen location (and you can use the GPS ‘find my location’ function).
2) Sadly in NZ there is no open weather data from MetService or NIWA (NZ Government’s two seperate tax funded/owned weather forecasters) so we can’t even display publicly paid for data. With regards to the weather stations we do display, we’re only a third party displaying privately owned stations via Wunderground so have no access to history sorry. But you can try Wunderground.com itself for more.
Regards,
– WW
