Current MetService forecasts for Wellington show a daytime high of 14–15°C on August 15, supported by a high-pressure ridge delivering light winds and partly cloudy conditions after recent cooler southerlies. Wellington’s August climatology centers on 13–14°C maxima, with NIWA’s seasonal outlook assigning the highest probability to near-average temperatures amid typical winter westerlies and occasional Antarctic air intrusions. Model consensus and short-range updates favor outcomes clustered around these values, with limited upside from warmer advection or downside from stronger cold fronts expected in the next 48 hours. Trader positioning reflects this narrow forecast range and the low likelihood of extremes given current atmospheric steering patterns.
