What it does
MetVUW provides New Zealand-focused weather maps and forecast material.
Choose the region, forecast horizon and surface or upper-air product. MetVUW explains that chart generation creates a six-to-twelve-hour issue-time lag and offers forecasts up to 240 hours. Its stated use limits exclude life-or-death and property-protection decisions, so keep those limits and the chart’s issue time with an extract.
