A private company founded in 1998, Weatherzone enjoyed immediate success in broadcasting, supplying weather forecasts to five major Australian networks.
Weatherzone launched its public website ‘weatherzone.com.au’, which quickly grew to become Australia’s most popular, privately owned go-to for daily forecasts. During the 2000s, Weatherzone diversified into other industry sectors including agribusiness, energy, aviation, construction, resources, retail, ports and mining.
Weatherzone became the market leader in many of these industries due to our drive to understand each sector’s individual needs, and our commitment to innovative forecast solutions. In 2012 we were chosen as the primary provider to the Australian Energy Market Operator due to the accuracy of our OpticastTM model.
