MORE ON OUR NEW ADDITION – LIVE WEATHER NEWS FEED.

We’re extremely excited about our new addition to our membership. New Zealand’s first ever highly intensive weather ‘feed’, specially designed for the Canterbury region.

You’ll never get caught out again – if it’s happening, it’s covered in detail – if it’s about to happen you’ll be the first to know. In many ways this will replicate the very successful Facebook News Feed, but with some key features and adaptions to ensure our service is highly professional, informative and engaging for you, the Canterbury public.

What’s paramount is there are no barriers in ‘reach’, nor restrictions with complex algorithms – meaning our content can be seen by tens of thousands of people with no scrolling and lost content.

This is the first dynamic weather news feed of its kind in New Zealand as we continue to push the current boundaries in weather presentation & coverage. If you’re after total coverage, detail for your weather dependent business, or just that total weather fan you will love our new addition.
