Why The Weather Project Exists
Most forecasts you see — whether they’re from official sources or flashy social media pages — are built on the same underlying data. The difference is in what they choose to show you, how often they update, and how much is left out or oversimplified.
The Weather Project doesn’t try to be louder, flashier, or more dramatic. It’s built to be smarter. Every map and number here is generated from global model data, adjusted where possible using actual observations from Australian weather stations, and tuned over time based on performance. It’s not just regurgitated GFS — it's refined, automated, and focused on decisions, not drama.
This platform was built because I wanted better answers myself. I’ve spent 30 years in weather, climate, and environmental science — not selling a story, but building systems that work. Now they work in the background, so you can get forecast clarity without noise.
If you’re tired of vague forecasts, daily hype cycles, or just want to see how the models are actually evolving — this site’s for you. You don’t need to trust me. Let the data speak.
This Platform Is Built For:
✨ Farmers & Growers – Time your spraying, protect your crops, avoid cold shock.
🍇 Vineyards & Orchards – Manage frost events and temperature-sensitive timing.
🏗 Energy & Construction – Plan for wind, rainfall, and worksite exposure.
🎣 Tourism & Outdoor Ops – Stay ahead of shifting weekend conditions.
🧐 Weather Enthusiasts – See how models evolve, track accuracy, dive into data.
In-Depth Weather Insights
Australia’s 2024–25 Climate Divide: Drought in the South, Floods in the North
A deep dive into the extraordinary climate contrasts across Australia over the past year. Southern regions are facing lowest-on-record rainfall, while inland Queensland and the NT have seen extreme wet conditions and the filling of Lake Eyre.
What Ongoing Dry Means for Farmers This Winter
With poor autumn breaks, dry topsoil, and weak cold fronts so far, we explore the risks facing farmers across southern Australia this winter — from delayed pastures to difficult crop establishment.
What This Means for the 2025 Snow Season
With the subtropical ridge still dominant and two years of early snowmelt behind us, we explore whether the 2025 snow season has any chance of recovery — and what indicators are worth watching heading into winter.
