New Zealand only reports METARS on the international WMO METAR feed for the two largest airports: NZAA (Auckland) and NZCH (Christchurch). Only residents of New Zealand, who access the data from a NZ ISP can get free real-time METARS for any other airports within the country.

Any users outside of the country who need NZ METAR data have to pay the government of New Zealand for it. 

Thank you JR you are a wealth of actual useful info!

Would love for MS to give us an update...this outage is brutal. big reason people fly MS is scenery and weather. Missing all weather takes so much out of a flight...well for me

Or the frequent, "Patience you must learn" comment. I hate when folks blindly defend something and stand on a hill for absolutely no reason. There are no pitch forks... no riots... just folks who want to know what's up and why we haven't had any updates on the situation. Already we are hearing folks upset about the "whiners" on these forums, but of course they'll be the same ones in a month ready to sling mud when it's something that's important to them. Hypocrites is what they are.

Oh well, then clearly everyone else is doing it wrong including Asobo who have it listed as being under investigation. 🙄

I just want some communication from the MS team. It shouldn't be that hard but I guess it is

Clear skies?

Anyone else notice this?

The metar I get is from the 2nd of February, 1635z. I am upset because my home airport has been encased in fog for days now! The metar is frozen in time.

I’ll give them credit. They finally did today.

UPDATE: My issue turns out to have been an addon. Removing all files from community resolved the issue. Looks like multiple addons causing it, or something even funkier of which I know nothing.

Seemed fine for me today but the other morning was flying in Seattle and the weather kept going from cloudy and rainy to sunny every 2 or 3 minutes. Glad to see its a known issue.

UPDATE TO THE UPDATE: I experienced the issue with all mods disabled. Its not the mods. Looks like there is a very weird widespread issue going on with live weather. There are reports of it being frozen on a certain date (like mine) as well as clouds not loading in. Who tf knows what's going on?

It’s not denying your experience to say that not everyone is experiencing it. It’s potentially very useful in troubleshooting. I’ve also not had any problems with weather the last few days.

"We're investigating". Surely you can give us more information. Seems like every update just bricks the weather.
