Hi,
I’ve recently being doing a lot of flying around New Zealand, specifically from NZQN.
I’ve noticed that the wind speed always seems to be listed as 0kts:
Having investigated further, it seems to be that an airport in NZ either has 0Kt or nothing listed at all.
Take this example of NZWB:
Any advice would be great, thanks.

Public weather data was withdrawn in New Zealand other than a select number of airports:

> Hello Michael! Welcome to the forum! Navigraph currently gets METARs from NOAA. It looks like they do not provide reports for the airports you mention, which is unfortunate but also the reason why you get the “No METAR available” message. We don’t know why this is and have no control over it, but we can look into adding other sources as well! The one you linked to is not optimal for our use case though, I’m afraid. We’ll investigate as soon as we have available resources to do so! Kind Regard…

Hi! Sorry for the late reply, the team was in the middle of FSExpo preparations and your post slipped through unnoticed!
@srcooke is entirely correct about the reason. We have not been able to get ahold of this data despite several attempts to contact NZ authorities. Additionally, we do have a ticket in our issue tracker to remove these indicators if we do not have any data instead of, quite deceivingly, showing green “0kt” pills.
Thanks a lot for posting!
Kind Regards,
Malte
