Weatherzone App Review
Application software download free Android
A top hand picked forecast app for your phone or tablet. It offers clear predictions of sun, wind and rain and is designed to give you one-swipe access to your local weather conditions and 10 day forecasts.
It also offers a range of smart features such as the ability to change your weather background or activate dark mode. Other useful options include an easy way to view your daily forecast in Celsius or Fahrenheit and a "feels like" temperature setting (so you know what it feels really hot or cold).
The data used by Weatherzone comes from a wide variety of sources including the Bureau of Meteorology. It also uses its own in-house computer models to provide additional forecast guidance. This allows it to provide a highly tailored and specific forecast package for clients.
Weatherzone has been providing customised weather packages to a wide range of organisations for many years. This includes major energy, mining and other businesses that need to manage weather-related risk.
In 2008 Weatherzone introduced its next-generation gridded forecast system called Opticast. This uses information from more than a dozen different computer models including variants of its in-house Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model to produce a single, high-resolution, highly accurate set of forecasts. Opticast is updated hourly allowing the company to react quickly to rapid and previously unforeseen meteorological changes. In 2016 Weatherzone was acquired by DTN which focuses on delivering insights and decision-support solutions to customers in weather-sensitive industries globally.
