DPIRD Weather Stations and Radar (DPIRD-075)

Brief description

DPIRD's network of automatic weather stations throughout the state provide timely, relevant and local weather data to assist growers and regional communities make more informed decisions. This data includes air temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind speed and direction, with most stations also measuring incoming solar radiation to calculate evaporation.
The weather stations report to DPIRD’s website every 10 minutes and provide near real time data. Local weather, such as rainfall or frost, can vary widely over short distances. The weather stations are sited to provide good geographical coverage. Their data is sent to the Bureau of Meteorology for use in weather forecasting and climate studies.
Industry uses this data for time critical agribusiness decision-making. These can range from scheduling irrigation of vegetable crops, through to choosing the right conditions for spraying operations in broad scale crops. DPIRD weather data is available to developers of decision support tools or weather applications via our Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).

DPIRD Weather stations and radar - Access the DPIRD weather stations data
DPIRD Weather API - The Application Programming Interface (API) available through this link provides the information required for you to Integrate the DPIRD weather stations data within your applications.\r\n\r\nThe various DPIRD weather services available include: \r\nList of available stations and their locations;\r\nLatest weather data;\r\nSummarised data;\r\nHistorical weather data;\r\nand more...
DPIRD Radar API - DPIRD provides this data through a shared collaboration with the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM).\r\n\r\nPlease be aware of the Terms and Conditions for use of DPIRD APIs.\r\n\r\nThe RADAR API's provide registered users the ability to retrieve data to embed within their own applications utilising an industry standard data exchange mechanism.\r\n\r\nThe data can be retrieved in various formats (JSON, XML, CSV)
GeoJSON - This resource provides the latest snapshot of the dataset as GeoJSON. GeoJSON can be opened in many spatial and non-spatial software packages. Note: When accessing this resource you will be prompted to signup for a free account.
Shapefile - This resource provides the latest snapshot of the dataset as a shapefile. Shapefiles can be opened in many spatial and non-spatial software packages. Note: When accessing this resource you will be prompted to signup for a free SLIP account.
File Geodatabase - This resource provides the latest snapshot of the dataset as a File Geodatabase. Note: When accessing this resource you will be prompted to signup for a free account.
Geopackage - This resource provides the latest snapshot of the dataset as a GeoPackage. Note: When accessing this resource you will be prompted to signup for a free account.
Web Feature Service - Web Feature Service (WFS) provides an interface that allows requests for geographical features across the web using platform independent calls.\n\nWFS allows a user to download and spatially analyse the features within a datset.\n\nThis service is aimed at advanced geographical information users, and will require access to geographical information system (GIS) software such as QGIS and ArcGIS.
ArcGIS Server Map Service - An ArcGIS Server Map Service offers access to a geographic dataset - such as a map or imagery - by providing a set of tiled images for use in web-based maps.\n\nDepending on the capabilities enabled, this web service may also allow a client to dynamically draw, search, and query its features.\n\nThis service is aimed at advanced geographical information users, and will require access to geographical information system (GIS) software such as ArcGIS and QGIS.
