Australian Weather Forecasts.
DTN APAC’s forecasts are a collaboration of data sourced from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) and DTN APAC’s increasingly independent in-house modelling. DTN APAC’s industry-leading forecasting solution Opticast™ also utilises the data from customer’s weather stations, and our own Australia-wide weather station network, in addition to real-time observations provided by the BOM.
Additional forecasting is provided by international partners such as Metservice NZ, Customweather and the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO)
Long Range Weather Forecasting – 14 day to 12 month forecasts.
These forecasts are produced by DTN APAC’s meteorologists using raw data provided by international weather agencies.
These forecasts are produced using a combination of techniques, some in the public domain and others developed by DTN APAC. The result is a suite of long-range forecasts considered to be the most accurate available for the Australian region.
