Hi. Thanks for your weather service. It’s much more reliable than ..ahem … other more mainstream ones.
Just wondering where the weather stations in Tokoroa are as I can’t find any within the town or near the town boundaries, or even close at all on the station maps. Most are many kms away.
When I search for our weather your results show 3 stations but I can’t see those on any weatherstation map.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Christine, thanks for the kind feedback. If you go here: https://www.weatherwatch.co.nz/maps-radars/observations/live-observations and type in “Tokoroa” in the search box inside the map it should display 4 stations within Tokoroa township, or very near it.

Cheers,

Great, thank you for responding. I’ll take a look.

Weak La Nina operating. Modeling using Nino 3.4 SST suggests it to peak February and La Nina conditions to persist through February -April. Feels like La Nina is trying to kick in in the Northern half of the North Island. The forecast models are surprisingly very wide ranging,why ? Your expert thoughts Phil

Hi Richard, we have our ClimateWatch update out today which still says NEUTRAL (based on BoM’s assessment) but we’re certainly in the LN margins now. A warming planet may well be breaking modelling for ENSO, but we have quite a detailed update about it in our ClimateWatch video today and why BoM is not so sure of it really being significant (but certainly Feb/March looks to be peak chance of it happening). The goal posts keep moving for it to arrive!
Cheers

Stunning storm! Moving so fast and deepening so quickly!
