Weather Intelligence for Construction

World-class weather insights to support construction operations at every stage of your project – from planning to post-completion.

MetService supports the construction industry with a wide range of weather services designed to minimise the impacts of weather.

Our weather solutions – including site-specific forecasts and hindcasts, custom weather briefings, real-time condition threshold alerts, and historical weather observation summaries – allow you to prioritise safety, minimise risks and downtime, increase efficiencies, build resilience and support stakeholder confidence.

Ways we can help:

  • Hindcasts

    MetService can produce a hindcast – a retrospective modelled analysis of past weather conditions at your site.

    Combining advanced modelling with historic observational records, our high resolution 50+ year hindcast provides insights to support risk assessments, schedule planning schedules, uptime, and decision-making.

  • Climate Risk Assessments

    Climate risk assessments blend long-term data with climate modelling to predict future trends in rainfall, drought frequency, temperature, severe weather, and more.

    We work with our climate risk partners to evaluate how evolving climate hazards may impact your project post-construction. This is supported by tailored risk mitigation stategies.

  • Site Specific Forecasts

    MetService provides accurate, hyper-local forecasts with parameters that matter to you.

    When your pre-defined wind, rain, or temperature thresholds are approached or exceeded, we generate alerts that support on-site decisions, safety compliance, and risk management.

  • Bespoke Briefings

    MetService collaborates with you to define your weather risks and triggers that would necessitate downtime or breach operating conditions. Custom weather briefings can be delivered daily, weekly, or on an ad-hoc basis, in two formats:

    Written forecasts: ideal for documentation and evidence.

    Verbal briefings (calls): these allow you to ask questions and discuss the weather impacts for your project.

  • Lightning Proximity Alerts

    MetService’s lightning detection system monitors strikes across NZ.

    We work with you to define risk zones around your assets – like cranes or building sites. When lightning is detected in these zones, you receive alerts, followed by an “all clear” when activity subsides.

    Lightning alerts help protect your crew and assets - and provide evidence of safety compliance.

  • Weather Stations

    MetService can install a temporary automatic weather station on your site.

    Ideal for long-term or weather-sensitive projects, these standalone installations capture real-time data and generate monthly summaries which may be used for operational analysis, downtime and compliance reporting, and schedule adjustments.

Threat Matrices

Take the guesswork out of planning with a 10-day weather threat matrix - a tool that visually represents the likelihood and severity of incoming whether that may impede your construction operations.

Tailored to your project requirements and thresholds, the matrix displays key hazards such as high winds, heavy rain, extreme heat, or lightning—in a clear and familiar traffic‑light format for ease of interpretation.

This tool supports risk and downtime mitigation, safety, and data-driven decision-making.
