1/4 We'd like to take a moment to give a shout out to our meteorologists who have been working tirelessly since last Friday to ensure New Zealand has the information needed to prepare and respond to these extraordinary rainfall events.

A spectacular actinoform cloud in the Eastern Pacific.

Swirling away with it stratocumulus tentacles.

Just night shift things 😉

[MetService NZ @MetService]

Did you get a glimpse of the Aurora Australis overnight?

Some of our webcams in Southland and Otago managed to capture the spectacle. Here is a time-lapse from Dunedin Airport 🤩

One of the few perks of working the night shift I guess 😉

@ASBBank I’m not a customer of yours, but there appears to be a scam doing the rounds trying to associate with you guys

I'm seeing more RAT result photos than Wordle results today. Grim.

@mightyboyc My toxic trait is thinking I would be good at Elden Ring despite playing every game ever on narrative difficulty 💀

After more than 50 years in our Kelburn building atop of the Wellington Botanical Gardens, MetService is moving to Featherston Street close to Wellington’s waterfront.

This temporary relocation is because our Kelburn building requires earthquake strengthening.
