Description

WeatherWatch.co.nz is New Zealand's most popular private forecaster, with more local weather data than any other NZ provider. Powered by the most accurate weather forecaster on the globe, The Weather Company, we have every part of NZ covered, with weather alerts to ensure your local forecast is brought to life and you have fewer nasty surprises.

ALERTING
Our new paid LIGHTNING PLUS and PRO tiers bring the weather directly to your phone screen - receive push notifications based on warning criteria you get to set for your local area(s). Our PRO tier is all about helping your small business, farm or orchard - or just to help you better plan any event outdoors. Temperature alerts can help you with advanced notice of frost or summer heat, rainfall alerts, wind alerts, fog alerts - you set the criteria (and can easily adjust to fine tune it specifically to your local part of NZ). Alerts in our PRO tier can be for 10 locations.

LIGHTNING PLUS
Is our newest feature with access to NZ's official lightning network - it's also a low cost, ad free, way to save more locations and have a more personalised experience. Live real time alerts - and you set the distance from your location to receive alerts about active thunderstorms all pinged to your phone. This is not a forecast - it is real time alerting and display for actual thunderstorms.

METSERVICE PUSH NOTIFICATIONS
Official MetService Warnings and Watches (via https://www.metservice.com/warnings/home) - automatically pushed to your phone via WeatherWatch PRO. If official warnings are critical to you, don't go looking for them - let the official warnings notify you via our exclusive alerting mechanism, all part of PRO.

MORE MAPS AND DATA
We have local, hourly and 10 day forecast data. We've got all of New Zealand covered, from the central cities to our most remote rural communities and beaches. We also now have free access to our lightning maps (with a slight delay).

OUR TEAM
We're a small New Zealand owned business with a large footprint. We're proud to be innovating, and the support you give us via our paid tiers of our app is reinvested back into the app to create even new products - such as our new Lightning maps and alerts. Thank you for supporting our journey.

DISCLAIMER
WeatherWatch is NZ’s largest private forecaster. We are not an official warnings provider, but we partner with the Government’s MetService to display their official warnings and now their lightning data.
