How these readings are produced
The numbers above are OpenWeather raster-model observations for the coordinates -43.532°, 172.636° — refreshed every 45 minutes and shown in Christchurch local time (UTC+13). High humidity combined with temperatures ≥ 31°C makes the "feels like" value hotter than the thermometer reading; slowly falling pressure is usually a sign of rain within 12–24 hours.
