What are the chances to snow to Dunedin or Invercargill this week? Looks pretty cold and bit of moisture around too. Some models I’ve seen say decent snow to Invercargill

Hi there Phil, yes at this stage some snow or a snow/sleet/rain mix is possible in those places around Thu/Fri. It’s a bit borderline at sea level though – much more likely inland. We’ll have details in our Tuesday weather video.

Is there a place to find the humidity in the past/now? if not I might use others, which is disappointing as you guys have always been my go-to.
Thanks

We have all humidity at RuralWeather.co.nz. Not past history though, but current humidity and hourly forecast for the next 10 days out. It’s also available in our free WeatheWatch app under “trends” and “daily data”. NZ Government doesn’t provide open data (historical data) which means you need to go to Niwa or MetService directly to access publicly built/owned historical data.
Kind regards,

Over the past few months, has the inner AKL region experienced more severe weather, specifically thunderstorms, than in comparable months in previous years? Judging by the number of severe thunderstorm warnings issued by Metservice and the number of alerts via my mobile it would seem so? Or are they just playing it safe ito of predictions? You guys are definitely the go-to for weather info. Thank you!

Hi Helen, yes there has been an uptick in severe weather/thunderstorms/downpours in Auckland lately (and Northland and other parts of northern NZ in particular). That has been due to a series of both low pressure areas around the north of NZ, but mainly due to very powerful anticyclones to the east of NZ dragging down sub-tropical air. This set-up often causes this weather but we don’t always get this set-up every year, hence why it’s noticeable now. Autumn, Winter and Spring can all produce a lot of thundery weather when more tropical air is mixed into the NZ area. Thanks for the support of what we do 🙂
