Climate data

DataHub is an interface that provides access to New Zealand's National Climate Database.

Air temperature, rainfall, soil moisture and river flow predictions for the coming season.

NIWA's long-running 'seven-station' series shows NZ's average annual temperature has increased by about 1°C over the past 100 years.

Hottest, coldest, wettest, driest, sunniest, windiest...which places hold the record for climate extremes in NZ?
