I do not believe that M/S moderate that rural forcast at all as it has 22C for thur in canterbury but 16C on other forcasts.

I notice whether its the internet connection cookies etc but it delays loading the rain isobar forecast page until the ad has fully played.

Yes those ad's are very intrusive on the M/S site.
So I got a great piece of software for the mac called glimmer blocker and that gets rid of them
I can take text based ads such as google ads, but Flash based ads I absolutely hate with a passion.

I dont believe so either,on the M/S website they had last nights low for Waipara of 8C, but driving through there first thing this morning there was a fair amount frost about,it would have had to have been at least -1,i know a ground frost will be lower but.....

Since its on the topic of Metservice.

I have just noticed a advert on the Metservice site that they finally have a mobile Metservice site.

M.metservice.com. Works great!

Anyone else notice on the canterbury plains rural forcast map they have rakaia in the wrong spot they have rakaia about where ashburton shoud be?

[Dean.]

Yeah they have plonked the Rakaia township on the wrong river!

[Willoughby]

What happened to the map which showed all the 3-hrly temperatures/wind and rain amounts around the nation?

After searching for a few minutes I couldn't find a thing...

I hope it's just my fault here... but for a national meteorological agency this is... pathetic.

[Michael]

We actually have a deep low in the country,remember whens something actually happens,zilch data,maybe you blocked you being in the States????

Just to jump on the bandwagon here - and this is no help to you Lukemyster coz you're in the beautiful Garden City - but www.WeatherWatch.co.nz has had a mobile site up and running for the past year now. Good if you want to check weather news...but if you're in Auckland you can also check the Auckland forecasts. Believe their may be some issues with iPhones with our new forecast layout? Keen to hear from anyone who has had this issue.

Regarding MetService - I miss the rainfall data from the past month in each region, and the past 24 hours. That was always interesting to look at.

What on earth are you doing looking?

You should be too busy chasing!

Wow MS are still running their old site as well as their new site!! http://vaac.metservice.com/default/inde ... athertoday

It is exactly the same as the old site, even though they have a new site as well
I wonder why?

[Michael]

Perhaps its easier to use ie their rain maps,just scroll across and it aminates.

Dear Metservice.

Thank you for providing two weather websites.

As a polite suggestion we recommend you provide different forecasts on each of them in order to improve statistical accuracy accross the board.

many thanks
Mr. Helpful
