I assume these regional airports still do metars.
I'm not an aviator so I'm not sure....can I suggest you phone the
flight service people at Hamilton airport.

Some of the Met Service AWS reports are based at aerodromes.

the internal met service data rotuine will most likely be a simplified
AWS metar report, for hamilton airport
i provide the met service, for free (well i get a annual subscription to the met soc provided, :) , and a calendar, :) )
my data hourly, automaticly
here is my latest report
AWSOBS
134 0600Z 12007KT 20/17 1017.5
01HR/ 00000 ///// ///// 16/0 ////// RMK HGWV/ 036/07 022-046 11-00 016
06HR/ 0.0


it is based on the same protocol all their automatic weather stations use (AWS)

I don't think Kaitaia still do METARs since the funding was pulled (but stand to be corrected on this).
Kerikeri take METAR obs under contract to Metservice.
