As of 2024 we will no longer be publishing questions related to weather forecasts if they are answered via our hyper-local hourly & 10 day forecasts, weather maps and regular daily and monthly weather & climate videos.

We’re a small NZ business with limited resources to respond to general weather questions. Our social media pages may be helpful to you, especially if you want to often talk (or groan!) about your local weather.Β You can find more resources from us here if that’s your thing.

On the videos from last Wednesday-Thursday, the maps showed almost no rain, and it was said that the weather models’ maps have been β€˜flip flopping’ frequently between dry AND wet, yet all forecasts on both the website and the app showed
only steady increase in the chance and amount of rain from 30 to 50mm (no changing to dry AND wet weather as suggested in the video). Why there is such a huge difference between the app and your video forecasts? Though for now both sources are aligned, but wondering why the differences occurred on those two days.

WW Forecast Team on 12/04/2025 5:36am

Hi there, it was simply the run of one model (an outlier) used in our videos (and had also been a bit β€˜back and forth’ in the days leading up to that video) – but our website(s) & app update hourly using hundreds of computer modelling/ensembles added to it. The data on our site is more accurate than the maps we use.

Also, April is notorious for sudden lows deepening as high pressure systems over NZ move through much faster and come in different shapes – making longer range forecasts much more difficult/changeable than previous months during summer.

Hi Phil isn’t Nelson sheltered frothe south east

Vlad on 11/04/2025 11:45am

Hello. That is very good question for Mr. Google. He would know best.

John on 12/04/2025 4:36am

Nice one Vlad. Seems they don’t teach geography in Nelson Schools these days!!

Really confused by the video forecast on Thursday 10th April, showing little or no rain for Northland, yet the daily forecasts show up to 100mm total for next week?

WW Forecast Team on 10/04/2025 9:38pm

Morning Roger. I think you’ll see why in today’s video – the data has been flip flopping in the long range maps for a number of days now, today’s change is one of the biggest I’ve seen in a while. It makes sense (to me anyway) why it’s flip flopping so hopefully I can explain that today.
