Hi guys, for a few months now IHAMIL475 in Hamilton Central is totally off the scale in the afternoons. Right now reading 33C when actually 26.4C is the reading getting in the sun or heat? Thanks. Keep up the great work otherwise. 😀

Hi RR, ditto on that. It (IHAMIL475) is now reading 38.0 C when it is actually 24C on my thermometer, in the sun. Confirming that this has been going on for quite some time, too.

If I choose Auckland as my default, I get IAUCKL83, but this never has any values. I can page right to NZAA, and this has values, but wouldn’t it be better to have that as the first displayed?

Hi William, we can remove IAUCKL83 if it’s been offline for more than a couple of weeks. Please let us know if you’d like us to do that. It will then go to the next nearest station for Auckland central.
Cheers

Yes, please. I misspelled it IAUCKL83 but I should have written IAUCKL803. There’s a comment from ‘Sylvia’ on 11/12/2024 noting its demise.

Hi. Thanks for your weather service. It’s much more reliable than ..ahem … other more mainstream ones.
Just wondering where the weather stations in Tokoroa are as I can’t find any within the town or near the town boundaries, or even close at all on the station maps. Most are many kms away.
When I search for our weather your results show 3 stations but I can’t see those on any weatherstation map.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Christine, thanks for the kind feedback. If you go here: https://www.weatherwatch.co.nz/maps-radars/observations/live-observations and type in “Tokoroa” in the search box inside the map it should display 4 stations within Tokoroa township, or very near it.
Cheers,

Weak La Nina operating. Modeling using Nino 3.4 SST suggests it to peak February and La Nina conditions to persist through February -April. Feels like La Nina is trying to kick in in the Northern half of the North Island. The forecast models are surprisingly very wide ranging,why ? Your expert thoughts Phil

Hi Richard, we have our ClimateWatch update out today which still says NEUTRAL (based on BoM’s assessment) but we’re certainly in the LN margins now. A warming planet may well be breaking modelling for ENSO, but we have quite a detailed update about it in our ClimateWatch video today and why BoM is not so sure of it really being significant (but certainly Feb/March looks to be peak chance of it happening). The goal posts keep moving for it to arrive!
Cheers
Phil D
