First Up - Voice of the Nathan!

The government has announced a major shakeup in weather forecasting, with NIWA and MetService set to merge. Independent forecaster Philip Duncan from WeatherWatch spoke with Ingrid Hipkiss.

On today's First Up pod: Pakistan finally decides on a Prime Minister; Weatherwatch chief forecaster Philip Duncan tells us what's happening with the strong wind and heavy rain hitting the islands and Basketball NZ boss Dillon Boucher shares his thoughts ahead of tonight's Breakers clash with the Illawarra Hawks.

We put it to the people. First Up - Voice of the Nathan!

Forecasters are predicting warm weather for Christmas Day, but unwelcome surprises can't be ruled out. High pressure is expected to move over the country and leave a pleasant subtropical front in the lead-up to Christmas. But WeatherWatch Head Analyst warns some rain could affect New Zealand's West Coast and spill over into the South Island and lower North Island. "It's not locked in, we're on the edge of a system, but I think at this stage- high pressure's more powerful in December- hopefully at least over half the population should have a pretty good Christmas."

Questions are being raised as to why competing weather forecasters NIWA and MetService don't work together in times of extreme weather events. MetService has recently concluded its weather forecasting models performed badly before the Auckland floods, leaving staff in disbelief over the inaccuracy. WeatherWatch Head Analyst Philip Duncan says the situation wouldn't have gone this far if the Government hadn't allowed NIWA to commercialise everything. "MetService would have a lot more access to tax-funded modelling and be able to improve it, because climate change- or even the fact that things are warming up- is breaking some of the modelling."

One of my favorite topics is email, and Philip Duncan is here to talk about all things email marketing. Philip is an award-winning Amazon best-selling author.

On today's First Up pod: news out of Aussie and the Middle East; the depths of winter bring wild weather and a polar blast - Weatherwatch's Philip Duncan is monitoring the situation and Green Party co-leader Marama Davidson on transport and getting Wellington moving. First Up - Voice of the Nathan!

Independent forecaster, Philip Duncan of WeatherWatch, is warning the rivalry between MetService and NIWA is dangerous and needs sorting out. The Government is reviewing the relationship amid a forecasting turf war between the two. State Owned Enterprises Minister Duncan Webb says the review will begin in September in a bid to improve how they work together. MetService is the Government's official forecaster for emergency management while NIWA's focus is climate science. But Philip Duncan says alarm bells are ringing over NIWA's growing role as a forecaster, especially after it won a key contract with DOC from MetService. Duncan spoke to Corin Dann.

Weather forecasters from Europe and the US, to Australia and New Zealand, are reporting a spike in threats and abuse from conspiracy theorists convinced they and sometimes governments are controlling the weather. The New Zealand forecaster Weather Watch has been dealing with a big increase in attacks like this. It's chief executive Philip Duncan spoke with Craig McCulloch.

The Government is seeking advice about New Zealand's weather forecasting system amid fears of conflict. MetService and NIWA have inspired concern over mixed and confusing messages given to the public during extreme weather events. WeatherWatch founder Philip Duncan says one of the reasons the weather feels so much more intense this year, is because we've had five years of rainfall deficit. "And the suddenly, it swings into a wetter than average setup and it feels extremely different, because it actually is." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Philip Duncan is an award-winning and Amazon best-selling author. He's also the host of the Powerhouse Authoring Summit. Philip's success story is a great example of an author who knows exactly how to build an audience. Almost two years ago, Philip and I discussed working together on one of my done-for-you summit services, but it wasn't in his budget at the time. A year later, I sent him info on a pilot program for my lower-investment Summit Lab course and he went for it. Six months later, Philip hosted the Powerhouse Fiction Summit, and today, he's in the middle of another summit that's crushing it. It's even beating my own numbers from a recent summit!When Philip first heard about summits, he was skeptical. After taking Summit Lab, he realized it was something he wanted to get into, especially since he was looking for a way out of his day job. In March 2022, he launched his first summit, and it was a game changer. Philip took a lot of risks to get to where he is today and they're paying off in a big way. Here, we talk about what he learned from his first summit and how he created a follow-up program for authors. Philip also shares his numbers from his first and most recent summits, the value of business relationships and a solid email list, and details on his core offer.What's Inside:Philip's virtual summit journey and lessons learned.The importance of an email list and business relationships.Details on Philip's core offer and his plans for the future.Mentioned In This Episode:Ray.fmPhilip@PhilipSDuncan.comPowerhouseAuthoringSummit.com

Wellington's Mayor says people need to be prepared for terrible weather.Swells are expected to become extreme on the southern Coast this evening, with Breaker Bay forecast to take the brunt about 9pm.Residents on Breaker Bay road from numbers 34 and 194 are being urgently evacuated, under a local state of emergency.Wellington Mayor Andy Foster says things could get far bigger than six metres."We're expecting to get as high as eight this evening, so there are some particular parts of the south coast which are particularly vulnerable, and could well say a metre-to a metre and a half of waves hitting dwellings."WeatherWatch's Phillip Duncan told Heather du Plessis-Allan everyone's got a cold night tonight."The wind chill's certainly well below zero and pretty miserable temperatures in the single digits pretty much everywhere except the very North."The cold change has arrived in Auckland and Whangarei, so they've got the cold air coming in." LISTEN ABOVE

One person is dead, one injured and residents of more than 1200 mostly Papatoetoe homes - 60 of which are now uninhabitable - have been left picking up the pieces after an ordinary Saturday morning turned to terror when a tornado ripped through South Auckland.It was just before 8.30am when the tornado struck, in a matter of seconds tearing off roofs and garage doors, uprooting trees, smashing windows, toppling a truck and power poles - some on to cars - and leaving stunned residents cowering and praying in their homes from Manurewa to Papatoetoe.They estimated more than 1200 homes had been affected by the tornado, with the majority without power.An Auckland Emergency Management spokeswoman said a family of eight and a family of three were provided with accommodation last night.She said Auckland Emergency Management were holding a debriefing and planning session this morning and would provide an update about 9.30am.Fire and Emergency and Urban Search and Rescue teams had so far assessed 240 as being impacted by the tornado, 60 of which were uninhabitable.Assessments would continue today, so the number of tornado-damaged homes could increase, Auckland Emergency Management controller Parul Sood said last night.At a Ports of Auckland yard on Wiri Station Rd, dozens of stacked shipping containers collapsed as the powerful funnel of spinning air crossed Wiri, with at least one container weighing 30 tonnes tossed into the air.A contractor not employed directly for the Auckland Council-owned port company was killed and a truck driver on site injured but it's understood the fallen shipping containers may not be directly responsible for the death.The injured truck driver was taken to Middlemore Hospital with moderate injuries, a St John spokeswoman said.Auckland mayor Phil Goff said he'd been told someone at the yard died after the force of the wind threw them some distance in the air and they then struck a solid object."I want to be careful about that [cause of death]. I've had conversations about it … I've talked to Ports of Auckland, they said the force of the wind was so strong that 30-tonne containers were being picked up and blown about in the air."A person at the yard described the scene as "carnage", with distraught workers watching as three ambulances, a specialist response team and multiple police officers rushed to help, with someone being "worked on" in the back of an ambulance.As well as toppled containers, including the 30-tonne one lifted by the wind, signs from the neighbouring motorway were also blown onto the site, Ports of Auckland spokesman Matt Ball said."We're very shocked by what is a horrendous freak event and our thoughts are with the family and friends of the people who've been affected."This will be difficult for our staff. They're not just affected by what's happened at work, many of them also live in the area."Papatoetoe and Manurewa residents described terrifying scenes as the tornado cut a swathe of destruction across parts of both suburbs, sparking 100 calls to Fire and Emergency New Zealand.More than 20 crews were sent to help.Because the tornado, although destructive, was localised and brief it didn't cross paths with any wind gauges, so wind speeds weren't known, MetService forecaster Gerard Bellam said.The rain gauge at Auckland Airport in Mangere recorded 25mm in the hour to 9am yesterday, with the downpours "a good indication of the amount of energy that was around", Bellam said.Many residents were still asleep in bed or only just awake when the noise of the tornado alerted them to the approaching danger."The noise was horrendous … it sounded like a plane was landing on our house," said Annelise Greenfield, who huddled in the hallway with her husband and three kids, hugging and praying, as the tornado tore its way up Grande Vue Rd in Papatoetoe."My 10-year-old thought she was going to die."Emerging outside they found their letterbox at the front door, their shed's roof...
