Welcome to Jane's Weather!

You have gained access to a forecast that combines multiple global weather models, applies machine learning and artificial intelligence, and makes sure that you have the latest information at your fingertips.

Our basic forecasts show hourly conditions for the next five days:

• icon
• temperature
• wind speed, gust and direction
• rain or snow
• cloud cover

Upgrade to a paid subscription to see hourly conditions for the next ten days, with insights to improve management of your resources and boost your yield:

• feels like
• dew point
• delta t and spraying conditions
• storm risk
• frost risk
• evapotranspiration
• growing degree days

I recommend the following three steps to get started:

1. Set your location (multiple locations for paying subscribers)

Type in a few letters and set your favourite location from anywhere in Australia.

2. Check the forecast

The full experience with multiple models side by side for easy comparison, for paying subscribers

Within the main screen we have the following:

• Your favourite location loads first, displaying the data from our Consensus Forecast.
• The summary of all days is shown on the left (click the blue and white bars on mobile) and up the top of each day.
• Within the forecast area: 
  • the 'worm' shows the temperature for each hour, along with the weather icon
  • at the bottom of the graph, bars show the potential rain or snow for each hour
  • under that we have the wind speed and gust, and the direction the wind blows from
  • at the very bottom, all the variables are listed for the current forecast hour 
• Move forward in time either by play/pause, tapping left or right arrows (or keys on your keyboard), or jump forward by tapping the timeline bar. Tap near the centre of the timeline bar for a small jump, tap further away for a bigger jump. The pink vertical line shows the current forecast hour
• See articles our help centre for more!

Premium and snow season subscribers can see hour by hour for the next ten days (rather than five), and view all the different models side by side for the complete picture and easy comparison. The forecast shows Feels Like Temperature, Relative Humidity, Delta-T and Spraying Conditions, Dew Point and Frost Risk.

Business subscribers also receive personalised forecasts for Evapotranspiration and Growing Degree Days.
