The service provides temperatures, wind speed, wind direction and rainfall predications in three-hourly time blocks.

Farmers can use their longitude and latitude information to access accurate, detailed forecasts.

MetEye was developed as part of the Next Generation Forecast and Warning System, a $30 million upgrade of weather services through BOM and funded by the Federal Government.
