Hi Phil, winds just now came out of nowhere , easterlies , very odd considering all day here in Levin very calm until now . Its 9.35pm so expecting it to get much worse, weve had rain but very little compared to what was forecasted by one news. Stay safe my friend regards Phil , now its raining lol

Thanks Duncan,
You always do an amazing job of explaining weather events .
I really wish you were better funded for this than what the govt funded weather forecasters provide as you offer so much more, and I find you are much more accurate, or at least explain why things might be so localised.
Keep up the great the work!

Always a reliable source and crucial for safety as you have a different way of explaining.
