WeatherWatch.co.nz is New Zealand's most popular private forecaster, with more local weather data than any other NZ provider and more local forecasts than our two Government forecasters. Powered by the most accurate weather data on earth from The Weather Company (an IBM business) we have every part of NZ covered, with alerts to ensure your local forecast is brought to life and you have fewer nasty surprises.
MORE MAPS AND DATA
We have more maps than all NZ providers combined, more local, hourly and 10 day forecast data than any other forecasters and we embrace AI which is learning from its mistakes and fine tuning accuracy in some of NZ's most remote locations. We've got you covered!
NEW ALERTING APP
Our NEW Alerting App is not only a first for NZ but a global first! The ability to bring your local weather forecast to life. Get fewer nasty surprises by having your forecast alert you when certain criteria is met. What criteria? You choose! Our alerting app is all about helping your small business, farm, orchard, or just help you better plan any event outdoors. And we're only just getting started! Phase 1 is to bring your forecast to life (the new app we have now). Phase 2, with your support, will allow us to bring in real time rain radar and lightning alerts.
