About this app

WeatherWatch.co.nz is New Zealand's most popular private forecaster, with more local weather data than any other NZ provider and more local forecasts than our two Government forecasters. Powered by the most accurate weather data on earth from The Weather Company (an IBM business) we have every part of NZ covered, with alerts to ensure your local forecast is brought to life and you have fewer nasty surprises.

MORE MAPS AND DATA
We have more maps than all NZ providers combined, more local, hourly and 10 day forecast data than any other forfecasters and we embrace AI which is learning from its mistakes and fine tuning accuracy in some of NZ's most remote locations. We've got you covered!

NEW ALERTING APP
Our NEW Alerting App is not only a first for NZ but a global first! The ability to bring your local weather forecast to life. Get fewer nasty surprises by having your forecast alert you when certain criteria is met. What criteria? You choose! Our alerting app is all about helping your small business, farm, orchard, or just help you better plan any event outdoors. And we're only just getting started! Phase 1 is to bring your forecast to life (the new app we have now). Phase 2, with your support, will allow us to bring in real time rain radar and lightning alerts.

METSERVICE PUSH NOTIFICATIONS

Average so far..ditto re the annoying message tell to download. Preferred the old app but will persevere in the hope it gets better. The Radar picture does not auto "rewind" and play on loop like the old version, so you need to manually rewind to see where rain is heading. Please fix. Review update 14/524. App is now loading as a blank screen. Uninstalled and reinstalled several times but still no joy. Starting to wonder why I'm paying for it.....

Hi Snappa. Thanks for your feedback. The message to download the new app is temporary and is targeted towards old app users and visitors to the website but can also be seen on the new app. Thank you for your suggestion to have the ability to play the rain radar on a loop - we'll work on this for a future version.

Nice app I've downloaded instead of going to the WeatherWatch or RuralWeather sites, cuz they have the both websites' data combined. Even though this app has lots of easily accessible data for forecasts, from temperature hourly trends to 10 day forecasts, what I would like to see improved is that the app is sometimes very slow - it keeps loading. That's the only suggestion and that's why I've subtracted 2 stars, otherwise very nice weather data.
