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.

In the WeatherWatch app, the ‘Day’ and ‘Night’ can be translated to ‘maximums’ and ‘minimums’? Why does the Day and Night forecasts in ‘Outlook’ and ‘Temperature Trends’ differ by a few degrees for the same location sometimes? Even the Day and Night temps within the Trends section contrast with the points in the graph by about 1 degree. Why are these discrepancies?

WW Forecast Team on 27/07/2025 11:35pm

Hi there, we’d need to see an example of this please. Can you please send a screenshot to news@weatherwatch.co.nz of the two different temperatures for the same location (need the location in the screenshot too). In the past when this has happened it’s because it is finding two locations in a similar area (ie, the top of a hill or the bottom of it, in the same area). It’s a rare issue, but it’s the likely cause.

Kind regards
– WW

Is it my imagination or do we get more large weather events that contain moisture from the subtropics than we did decades ago. Cheers Ross.
