"Reliable" weather app for New Zealand

[Muckyduckway]

In our travels we have found that an app that proves reliable in one place is a complete waste of time in another. Any tried and tested in New Zealand recommendations?

For New Zealand, Metservice probably has the most reliable weather app as it is the national weather service. The app is available in the app store.

The only thing reliable about weather apps is their unreliability after all its about weather!

I've always used the NZ Metservice.

Metvuw.com is generally more reliable for NZ.

"Weather Watch" is another good weather app and is available in the app store as well.

You're not wrong - the quotes weren't there for nothing. But living in a country where four seasons in one day isn't that unusual, it's good have a forecast that is right more often than wrong. :)

I've booked a NZ, south island, 10 day motorcycle tour for Mar/Apr next year. I'll just make sure I have the appropriate gear for whatever the weather throws at me.

I find the weather rock most reliable.

Me too, but Australian CBP won't let me bring mine with me! 😉

You can substitute it for a weather sock.
