I just wanted to know what the following wind terms mean:
Blustery, fresh, strong, brisk, breezy, fairly breezy, gale, severe gale, etc. What are the differences between all of these?

WW Forecast Team on 6/09/2025 7:47am

Hi there, you can find the wind speeds that connect with those terms in the hourly section of the forecast from any day. At some point we’ll get more info on our site about things like this.
Cheers

Your forecast says ā€˜cloudy’ for In,gill today but it’s sunny as!

WW Forecast Team on 3/09/2025 3:27am

It’s probably because it’s forecasting high cloud and overdoing it with the icon. Check the data at RuralWeather.co.nz to make moer sense of it. We’re working on this problem.

hey team. the models did a great job with the severe weather over the weekend. thudnerstorms,downpours and damaging wind,intense squalls. saw some wind damage this morning on my walk. metservice did a good job with their orange warnings too. quite a wild weather weekend and the sunny spells were quite brief.

Anthony on 29/08/2025 9:46pm

It certainly feels like we’ve had a cooler than average August here in the far north. Is that linked to the SSW event over Antarctica? And I see there’s another potentially larger SSW event that’s going to affect our weather in a few weeks time, is that correct?

While over the Northern Hemisphere, we see an unusually weak start to the Stratospheric Polar Vortex. And an abrupt end to the active Summer pattern over North America, switching directly into an Autumn pattern in early September.
