What was the degree of frost in Rangiora this morning, 2nd August please ?

jet on 1/08/2025 12:54am

Hi phill what’s causing Nelson’s showers next week even though we have high pressure?

WW Forecast Team on 1/08/2025 3:04am

Hi Jet, end of next high pressure moves east of NZ and just before the next big high moves in to the country there is a small area of rain/showers trapped in between over the South Island for a time.

hey weatherwatch team. josh again. i first heard about the rtsunami from this site. thanks for letting us know. emergency alerts kept me awake much of the night. a surreal week. orange rain warnings and now tsunami adversaries with some feeling/seeing it happening already!!!!

WW Forecast Team on 30/07/2025 10:28pm

Cheers Josh. Funny you say that, as this is the third time in a decade I’ve finished covering a severe weather event and then juuust as it ended and everything goes quiet, a tsunami alert is issued for the entire Pacific 🙂 No rest for the wicked!

95mm here in my location in takanini south auckland overnight and yesterday from the atmospheric river. models did a good job with this event. are we heading into a la nina?

WW Forecast Team on 29/07/2025 10:07pm

Hi Josh, yes modelling was really good with this event, definiely a soaking for many regions in the north. There’s a little bit of chatter about La Nina later this year, but for now it looks NEUTRAL still until December.
