NIWA has produced a high-resolution regional atmospheric reanalysis dataset, the New Zealand Reanalysis (NZRA).

NIWA collects daily/hourly data as part of the Climate Station Network. Parameters vary station to station.

NIWA collects and generates as part of its Climate Station Network observational data in “10 min” format (data reported in 10 minute intervals).

NIWA is using updated climate projections to help New Zealanders better understand climate-related risks.

NIWA generates ‘Statistics’ from Climate Station Observations collected as part of our Climate Station Network.

NIWA generates ‘Normals’ from Climate Station Observations collected as part of our Climate Station Network.

Situated around New Zealand and the Pacific are climate and weather monitoring stations numbering over 1200.
