Live views and useful checks
Wellington webcams
Webcams can offer a quick visual sense of weather, visibility, traffic and activity across the Wellington region. Feeds may be live, periodically refreshed images or delayed views, so use them as a planning aid rather than a complete forecast.
Check conditions before a harbour crossing, city drive or day trip, and confirm important travel details with the relevant official service.

Before you rely on a feed
Webcam questions
Are Wellington webcams live all the time?
Not necessarily. Some services use live video, while others publish snapshots or delayed images. A feed may also be temporarily unavailable.
Can a webcam replace a weather forecast?
No. It shows conditions at one location and moment. Check an up-to-date forecast, especially before coastal or outdoor activities.
Which views help with driving plans?
Traffic views around Aotea Quay and Lower Hutt can provide a useful visual check, but official traffic information should guide route decisions.
What can I learn from a harbour webcam?
Harbour views may help you notice broad visibility, cloud, brightness and general activity. They cannot confirm marine safety or conditions across the whole region.
Why might a webcam image look different from the forecast?
Local conditions vary across Wellington’s hills, bays and harbour edges. A webcam also represents a single viewpoint and may update at intervals.
