How the Tradie Daily Weather Planner works

The app takes live weather data and turns it into simple, job-ready advice for your team.

Step 1

Choose where you are

Pick your major NZ city, then add a town or suburb if you want more detail. The planner uses local time and forecast data for that area.

  • Built for New Zealand conditions.
  • Works from Auckland to Invercargill.
  • Great for travelling crews and multi-site teams.
Step 2

Select your services

Tick the services you offer – roofer, plumber, builder, electrician, landscaper, fencing, and more.

  • The app adjusts advice to suit your work.
  • Flags risky hours for ladders and exposed heights.
  • Suggests when to move jobs under cover.
Step 3

Get your daily plan

Tap Get forecast. The planner shows:

  • Today’s overview and risk level.
  • Hour-by-hour risk colours (green / amber / red).
  • A written plan: what to do, and what to avoid.

Why every tradie in New Zealand should use this app

It’s more than a forecast. It’s a small daily habit that saves time, fuel, and stress on site.

Fewer wasted site visits

Driving across town to find it’s too wet or windy to work is painful. The planner helps you decide before you leave the yard.

  • Shift roof and exterior jobs into safe windows.
  • Use bad-weather hours for quoting and admin.
  • Spend less time “waiting it out” in the van.

Safer decisions for your team

High wind, driving rain, and slippery surfaces are a real risk. The app highlights hours to avoid ladders and exposed heights.

  • Clear red/amber/green signals for each hour.
  • Better toolbox talks at the start of the day.
  • Your team knows what is safe and what is not.

Happier clients and better planning

When you plan with the weather, you give more accurate time frames, and you look organised in front of your customers.

  • Explain delays with clear data, not guesswork.
  • Line up jobs by weather, not just by postcode.
  • Look professional, even when the weather turns.
