About our forecasts

WeatherNZ presents weather forecasts and current conditions for locations across New Zealand, drawn from third-party meteorological data providers (currently Open-Meteo). Forecasts are computer-generated predictions, not guarantees. Weather is inherently uncertain, and the actual conditions you experience may differ from what is shown.

Weather data & attribution

Weather data on WeatherNZ is provided by Open-Meteo.com and is licensed under CC BY 4.0. Forecasts are computer-generated model output and may differ from observed conditions.

Not for safety-critical decisions

The information here is provided for general interest and convenience only. Please don’t rely on it for any decision where weather could affect safety, health, or property — including aviation, marine, alpine, agricultural, or emergency situations. For warnings and safety-critical forecasts, always consult official sources such as MetService.

Provided “as is”

WeatherNZ is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied — including accuracy, completeness, reliability, or fitness for a particular purpose. We don’t warrant that the site will always be available, uninterrupted, or error-free.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, WeatherNZ and its operators accept no liability for any loss, damage, injury, or inconvenience arising from your use of — or reliance on — the information on this site, whether direct, indirect, or consequential.

Changes
