Hey Phil & WW Team
Just wondering if any models show a change from the spring like weather for the East Cost of the North Island.
A decent drop of Easterly rain would be more than welcome.
Understand nature etc.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers.

Hi LJ, check out our latest ClimateWatch monthly outlook for October if you haven’t already: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Sha2cnfhME
At this stage no sudden change to the current westerly theme – which means the east continues to dry out for now. There’s a solid westerly flow at the moment unfortunately for you. Sorry I can’t give more positive news – but we’re looking for that next eastern rainmaker every day now.

Hi,
Does the WeatherWatch app work in any other country in the world when traveling abroad when we use the current location feature?

Hi there, yes it does – although you cannot search for global locations you can use the GPS ‘find my location’ feature and it will find your local forecast wherever you are on earth. Side note: While the graphs and data will be for wherever you are, all the maps will still be NZ centric.
Cheers

Looks as if the rain for Central Otago should be gone by early afternoon tomorrow.

Auckland seems to have had almost constant cloud for some time now, with a little bit of sun poking through every now and again. And looks like another 10 days to come. Is there anything in the medium term forecast for when we might to see some longer sunnier days? Cheers
