inaccuracies in his predictions, Ring has claimed that his rainfall predictions can be out by 24 hours and a radius of . On the 1st of February 2023 he extended the amount of time that his predictions could be out to 168 hours (1 Week) in a comment on is Facebook Page. His New Zealand almanac covers 64 towns.
