What it is

Explore the fascinating science of weather through the lens of Matariki at MOTAT this July. Uncover the stories of Waipunarangi, the star connected to rain and its life-giving journey from sky to earth, and Ururangi, the star that determines the winds — and learn how their brightness at Matariki can foretell the year ahead.

Expect live entertainment, hands-on activities, and fascinating collection items that bring weather science to life for the whole whānau.
