3/12/2023 5:10am
Updated 6:10pm Sunday — Welcome to our new Daily Newsfeed (which in weekends is a “Weekend Newsfeed”).
This page will be updated over the weekend.
Check your local forecast for what is happening in your area over the next 10 days – and RuralWeather.co.nz if you’re planning any outdoor events.
SUNDAY’s Brief Headlines:
- Heavy rain warnings for some in the west – latest MetService warnings can be found here
- Track rain on Rain Radar here
- A few thunderstorms possible in the east of the South Island today.
- New Cyclone potential for the South Pacific this coming week. For now the eastern side of Australia looks more at risk than NZ does. Here’s the latest 15 day rainfall map showing the tracking of that tropical rain looking more likely in Australia than NZ. It’s too early to lock in though – so we’ll continue to provide a daily update on this until we know more.
BELOW ARE UPDATES FROM SATURDAY…

I hate this new format. It’s too confusing and I don’t like the idea of flipping here and there to get the basic information. Too clever for me, I’m afraid.

You find using the links and resources on our website too confusing? Then just use our 10 day local forecast and keep it simple for yourself. Also, you don’t have to link off to any of the Twitter/X stuff – it can be viewed within out website, but we are working on a better system next year once we get more resources to do so.
