what are the chances of it being a cold winter down south this year? Based off what we’ve had so far it would make sense. Hoping for a snowy one down south (Dunedin/invercargill) which we haven’t had since 2010/11

Hi Phil and team, I wanted to ask if the rain will come this winter? At least here in the central North Island, we’ve had just a few days of rain. They were pretty big, but apart from that, it’s been sunny and cool. I do like sunny summers, but I also like rainy winters. So, will rain be more frequent later on this winter?

WW Forecast Team on 24/05/2024 8:54pm

Hi John, we’re not big fans of long range forecasting beyond a month, it’s notoriously inaccurate for our part of the world (due to the chaotic weather pattern this far south). Our next ClimateWatch monthly outlook is out on Friday afternoon May 31st and we’ll be looking to see if the powerful highs in Australia that are limiting rain here in NZ will finally break up or not. NZ’s dry weather has been mostly due to the stubborn and large highs parked near Tasmania. So hopefully we will see more wet weather coming into NZ this winter but it’s not a clear path towards that shift.

Hi WW team
I don’t know if anyone has posted about this, but as I type this, the Time/Date on your webpage is showing 12:50pm 22 May when this post is written at 6:36AM 23 May.
This issue has been going on now since 18 May. I run Firefox (up-to-date) on a Samsung phone. I’ve run all the tests incl cache, et al purges. Nothing working RE: bringing Time/Date back in sync. All other website are OK.

I hope there is a fix on your end.
Cheers
Kat

hi phill u said in your video that a cold blast is coming will that bring snow to the nelson ranges or to wellington city?

WW Forecast Team on 21/05/2024 5:24am

Just normal late Autumn snowfall on the South Island ranges mainly… perhaps some on the North Island mountains. Just a SW change that looks cold in the lower South Island in particular.
