The last two days we have been forecast with heavy rain watch and thunderstorms. Not a drop of rain or anything like a thundrestorm. How can we plan when hideous reports are put out there. A disgrace.

Hi Ray,
Please watch my Friday video – I said before the downpours formed that they might not occur and explained why they were hit and miss before the watches and warnings were even issued by MetService. I went out of my way to explain the hit and miss nature and why the rain/thunderstorm icons are displayed dispite the rain/thunder not being locked in. Context is everything.
As for the MetService warnings/watches we only display them, we don’t control what the Government forecaster warns of, or when they say it.
Cheers
Phil D

Hi there, are any major storms predicted during summer like the 2023 floods in northland.

Hi there. Every summer brings the chance of major storms into NZ. Storms can’t be forecast more than 10 to 14 days out, and sometimes as little as 24 to 48 hours out. We do see some low pressure zones crossing NZ next two weeks bringing some unsettled and possibly pockets of severe weather, but no tropical storms in our part of the world yet.

Hi guys, love your work. Can you please share some guidance for Auckland this Sat. The forecast seems to change depending where you look, and even in your forecast, the amount of rainfall seems to change quite frequently. Have an event in the afternoon, and some say morning rain will clear to a nice afternoon, while others like yours say rain and thunderstorms throughout the whole day. Do you know when we would have a more accurate idea? Presuming by Wed/Thurs?

Hi there, please watch our latest video as it explains why there is uncertainty due to a large low pressure zone forming. Low pressure creates instability and this far out it’s hard to lock in where rain may suddenly form. Saturday still looks messy – and latest maps today show low pressure centred right near Auckland it means there is a high risk of wet weather – or wet weather suddenly forming out of dry skies. Confirming if it’s raining everywhere or just in parts of the city is tricky this far out. Our next weather video update will be on Thursday and our Auckland forecasts update hourly.
Kind regards
WW
