Puketātapa weather – Live
Understanding the Weather and why it matters for people in Puketāpapa
Gardening? Rain and humidity levels affect when and how much to water.
Travelling? Visibility and wind speed can impact driving conditions.
Planning events? Knowing if pressure is falling helps you stay ahead of possible rain.
🌡 Temperature
What it means: How warm or cold the air feels, in degrees Celsius.
Why it matters: Helps with daily decisions – like whether to bring a jacket, water the garden, or plan a walk.
🌬 Wind
Wind Speed: How fast the air is moving, usually in km/h or knots.
Wind Direction: Which way the wind is blowing from – for example, a north-westerly wind comes from the northwest.
📈 Air Pressure
What it is: The weight of the air above us, measured in hectopascals (hPa).
Why it matters:
• Rising pressure usually brings calm, dry, and fine weather.
• Falling pressure often signals windier weather or that a low-pressure system (clouds, rain) is arriving.
• Sudden drops can mean an approaching storm.
☀ Rain
Rain: Measured in mm, showing how much has fallen.
Showers: Short, often heavier bursts of rain that start and stop suddenly.
