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?

WW Forecast Team on 16/12/2024 6:59pm

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

hi guys random question but whats causing the thunderstorms in nelson on monday i wanna tell my friends on monday

WW Forecast Team on 14/12/2024 1:07am

Hi Jet,
(If you even get any thunderstorms) they will be caused by the colder/cooler change moving up the South Island mixing with the much warmer air over the rest of the country.

Hi WW team,

IAUCKL803 seems to be down for a few days now and the one from the airport is not capturing the rainfall totals on the website. Do you know when this will be fixed? Thanks for all the accurate forecasts!
