The Weather Company

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Note: There is an American company by the same name, under different management.

The Weather Company is the main provider of weather services to Australian television stations and weather-related websites. It specializes in converting data from the Bureau of Meteorology into more user-friendly formats. Its main role is providing graphics and weather information for television weather presenters. It provides the weather services for among others the Ten Network (The Weather Company's first client), the Seven Network, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, and the world weather reports for SBS. It also provides detailed agricultural forecasts to country areas of Australia, through the ABC, Prime Television and GWN.

The Weather Company also provides solutions for displaying weather on websites. Some large sites that use this include Elders, an Australian agricultural site, ski.com.au, a site about snow sports in Australia and News Ltd. The Weather Company also hosts its own weather site, weatherzone, which is an alternative interface to the Bureau of Meteorology website.
