Gisborne Weather LIVE Webcam

Forget the forecast. Look out the window.

Gisborne has a complicated relationship with weather forecasts.

The forecast says rain.

The sun comes out.

The forecast says sunshine.

Someone in Auckland rings to ask if we're surviving the storm.

And occasionally, the weather forecast is absolutely correct, which takes everyone by surprise.

So we've decided to take the guesswork out of it.

We have shared a Gisborne Live Weather Cam, broadcasting from Teal Motor Lodge, near the city centre on Gladstone Road.

No complicated weather models.

No dramatic warnings about a cloud approaching from the west.

Just a camera showing what the weather is actually doing in Gisborne.

Gisborne weather. Live and unfiltered.

Whether you're planning a trip to Gisborne, deciding if it's worth hanging the washing out, or sitting in Wellington wondering why you don't live somewhere sunnier, our live camera has you covered.

You can check the skies over Gisborne in real time, without relying on an app that seems convinced the entire country is permanently under a rain cloud.

Of course, we can't guarantee sunshine.

This is Gisborne, not a Hollywood movie set.

But when the sun does come out, and it frequently does, you'll have photographic evidence.

A window into the Gisborne lifestyle

There's something strangely addictive about watching a live webcam.

Nothing much happens.

Then a car drives past.

A cloud moves.

The sun appears.

Before you know it, you've spent ten minutes watching Gisborne do absolutely nothing in particular.

Which, come to think of it, is rather the point of visiting.
