Recent forecasts of severe gale-force northwesterlies gusting to 120 km/h across Wellington this weekend, driven by a tightening pressure gradient and funneling through Cook Strait, represent the key near-term catalyst keeping the three August peak-gust brackets nearly even. Wellington’s exposed topography and the strait’s venturi effect routinely amplify gusts beyond sustained winds, while wintertime Southern Ocean lows add variability. A super El Niño has favored stronger westerlies overall, yet model spread on exact timing and intensity of the current front leaves room for the monthly maximum to settle in any of the three ranges depending on whether exposed sites exceed 104 km/h or remain nearer climatological peaks around 90–100 km/h.

The resolution source for this market is the gust value in the wind group of NZWN's raw METAR/SPECI observations, encoded in knots (for example, "34020G45KT" denotes a 45-knot gust), as archived by the Iowa Environmental Mesonet (IEM) for station NZWN in network NF__ASOS ("New Zealand ASOS"). Gust speed is converted from knots using 1 kt = 1.852 km/h, rounded half-up to the nearest whole number. Because gusts are reported in whole knots, no observed gust converts to a value on a bracket boundary, so every observation maps to exactly one range.
The month's highest gust can be located via the IEM Data Calendar for NZWN: https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/sites/hist.phtml?network=NF__ASOS&year=2026&month=8&mode=monthly&station=NZWN. Each calendar day displays that day's peak gust inline; clicking a day's date opens the daily Summary for NF__ASOS, where the Peak Gust column in the NZWN (Wellington) row shows the day's maximum. Ensure station NZWN is selected, as the NF__ASOS network includes other New Zealand stations. Note that the IEM calendar and summary pages display gusts in mph; resolution is based on the knot value in the underlying raw METAR, which IEM archives alongside each parsed observation and which can be used to independently verify any value.
If any observations are missing or unavailable, this market will resolve to the range containing the highest gust reported during the resolution window. Should the IEM archive be unavailable or discontinued, this market will resolve based on the equivalent raw METAR/SPECI observations for NZWN from another credible archive or the original reporting authority.
