Waikato PWS's weather-page

Unread post by jamie »

I came across this website
http://thehondashop.co.nz/weather today which has weather stations around the south waikato area. Could be useful for future chasing.

Our neighbours (gavins) are on there. I heard Honda were setting up a station there but didnt realise it was going online.

I think you're right Brian. Lots of similarities between the 'Richmond-Downs/Crowe' sites and Chris's own weather-site, 'Christchurch Weather Live'.

The 'Honda Shop' also looks to simply be one of several participants in this collection of Waikato PWS sites (Tokomaru Bay and Winton notwithstanding). Wonder if it's still work-in-progress?

Perhaps a thread-title change?

Yea change the title.

The maize thing makes sense as john Austin and Gavin's are both very big Waikato contractors and grow a lot of maize.

Could be a useful site in summer for convective forecasting.
