How to plan around weather for your wedding day

From Afternoons, 1:35 pm on 23 February 2024

After proposing to his girlfriend live on air, NIWA meteorologist Ben Noll decided to combine his two loves - his fiancée Katie & the weather.

He decided to use their wedding as an experiment to answer the question "How do you plan for prefect weather?". No mean feat, given weddings are usually booked over a year in advance.

To help other couples with their wedding weather planning, his - not totally successful - journey has been immortalised on the NIWA YouTube channel.

Ben speaks to Mark.
