Low stuck in the NZ area all week & weekend (maybe next week too)

A large low will remain over the Tasman Sea this week before moving back over New Zealand this coming weekend.
The low is expected to gradually weaken this week but may energise again on Saturday and Sunday as it moves back in.
Long range modelling suggests it may remain over the country (or near us) next week too.
We explain why the low is stuck here and what it means for rain, snow and sunshine in our country.

Thanks for explaining everything so clearly and for giving us an indication of what's likely to happen right through to the end of the week. Weather Watch is the best forecast available in my opinion. Thank you and keep up the great work!

Hi Phil, been watching your forcasts for quite a while now and usually very accurate. However the last two fronts that have gone over us here in the far north have delivered 60mm and 50mm more rain than forcast. No problem as we have been farming here for over 50 years and can predict our precipitation very well, using your maps and watching the river for flooding on the flats and moving stock when necessary. Keep up the good work👍 .

Thanks for the update Julie - and the kind words. Yes this entire system is going to continue to produce pockets of rain heavier than forecast. The warmer airflows for the north have certainly been contributing to that!

Hi there, yes sometimes they do this but not too often at our latitude!

Dang, not so great this week for the Southern ski fields then 😞 At least Hutt should get some fluff.

Thanks for the feedback! And yes it's very warm in some parts of NZ, especially northern and western regions.

Dark, gloomy, short days - and the shortest days of the year. Hopefully it will start to brighten towards the end of June

@WeatherWatchTV Ай бұрын

Shortest day of the year on Friday...so technically by this time next week the days are starting to get a tiny bit longer again :)

That Pacific High is just not moving? Any reason why it has decided to put itself into Park? It is cruising for one parking ticket this rate.

@WeatherWatchTV Ай бұрын

Highs can often stall for many days, sometimes weeks... all part of the pattern and chaos :)

@edw777 Ай бұрын

do you think we're going to have a snowy winter this year after all this messiness clears up?

@WeatherWatchTV Ай бұрын

Think there should be some good chances - but whether it's enough for all the ski fields is still an issue sadly. But hopefully the added moisture this winter should be a bonus.

Not often wet weather gets to me here in the Grey Valley but over it paddocks turning to sh holes, be great to get a run of good frosty weather dry the place out

Thank you for that. I think what you are basically saying is that its payback time. Take care.

Hectopascals - the unit to measure air pressure. 985 and below is considered fairly low. 1013 is average. 1030+ is a strong high.

@@WeatherWatchTV My phone says 1016.29 (time 23:11) at the moment, but I'm sure it said 1004 early today or maybe it was yesterday.

@@AHD2105 Oh sorry, misread your comment - if you go to our RuralWeather.co.nz scroll halfway down the page and Daily Data has hourly (and current) barometric pressure. High pressure is increasing around NZ at the moment despite the nearby low.

Gosh Invercargill people moan the most to me about not being mentioned and yet on average I mention Southland more than Auckland. You know our website has hourly, 10 day forecasts for Invercargill for free with more data than the two Government forecasters you pay for, right?
