Metservice out of order today?

Unread post by Razor »

The website doesn't seem to have updated since 7am this morning. No new forecasts, or readings. Most unusual, I would love to know how warm it is here today!

Yes, I thought it was a bit strange with no gale warnings for Christchurch and the Canterbury Plains when now half of the province has now been blown out to sea :shock: #-o ;) :lol: :)

Well I wish they weren't, some folk are getting hammered by worse weather than was predicted by the sound of things and as someone else has said, the lack of a weather forecast is perturbing to say the least.

Perhaps Blue Skies can give us an updated prediction instead! ;)

Allround looks like the Metservice haven't had a great day! I see it is raining through south Canty with the change, I don't think that was expected either.

Has got gloomy very quickly here too with a few spots of rain starting, must be the front coming through

Edit: Heavy rain now. And I see metservice have updated now at last well done! =D>

That's what I initially thought, but I'm just hoping...

Temps are dropping fast here, quite cold out.
