Raglan’s weather

Two significant features influence the weather in Raglan. The first, Mount Karioi and the other hills around the harbour provide some shelter from the prevailing winds. The second is the ocean, which tends to moderate the temperature, cooling the heat of summer and resisting the cold of winter.

These two features result in a microclimate in and around Raglan, that can result in significantly different weather than in Hamilton or Auckland. There are usually one or two light frosts over winter.  A winter frost signals a sunny day and daytime temperatures climb into the mid teen.

The seasons in Raglan are:

• Spring – September, October, November
• Summer – December, January, February, March
• Autumn – April, May
• Winter – June, July, August

Behind Raglan Weather

Currently we monitor wind speed, wind direction, rainfall, temperature and humidity. This data is displayed on the website and stored into a database. The database is analysed to pick out weather patterns that are particular to Raglan and thereby increasing the accuracy of future weather forecasts.
