" MetService is a New Zealand state-owned weather forecasting service established in 1992 and headquartered in Wellington, New Zealand, which provides weather forecasting services and early warning of potential climate anomalies within New Zealand.

Information provided by MetService It provides New Zealand residents and the global public with 5-10 day weather forecasts for New Zealand, including New Zealand cities and nearby seas. The forecasts range from temperature, precipitation, wind speed, tides, wave height, sunrise and sunset, astronomy and more.

New Zealand's earliest weather forecasting service began in 1861, when the weather caused by a series of maritime disasters, prompting the then New Zealand government to activate the abnormal weather warning service. In 1926, it became part of the then newly established Ministry of Science and Industrial Research. 1939, the Second World War broke out and the Royal New Zealand Air Force, which was involved in the war, recruited the Meteorological Forecasting Service under its wing. In 1968, MetService officially became part of the then "super department" Ministry of Transport.

In the 1980s, the New Zealand Meteorological Department, which had been funded through the government, felt the pressure of increasing funding, as the then New Zealand government began a new initiative, User-Pays, that is, to allow "professional services" such as meteorological data "The New Zealand government also gave these professional service providers greater autonomy, and of course they had to assume greater responsibility and bear more of their own operating funds. Finally, on July 1, 1992, a new state-owned enterprise was "born," and it was MetService. As part of the global climate monitoring network, MetService shares its observations with other WMO members by collecting data from around New Zealand; this data is fed into WMO's computers to build weather models that are used to predict weather on a global scale.

New Zealand, as a "large country" in the South Pacific, naturally maintains close ties with other Pacific Island meteorological departments in terms of meteorological services. Since the South Pacific often has severe weather, such as Cyclone, the meteorological data acquisition center in Fiji (Nadi Fiji) will collect the data collected daily through the network to the MetService computer, and MetService will serve as a "backup site "When the weather center in Fiji is affected by bad weather and cannot provide normal services, the MetService in New Zealand will "take up the responsibility" to provide the most professional weather forecasts and hazard warnings to our "island brothers" in the Pacific. The MetService is responsible for providing the most professional weather forecasts and hazard warnings to our Pacific Island brothers.
