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.
