Climate and data solutions

Historical climate analysis, location-based forecasting, and custom data tools for agriculture, construction, events, planning, and any team that needs better decisions from weather and climate data.

Beyond a weather app

Generic weather apps tell you whether to bring an umbrella. What we do is tell you whether a proposed agricultural calendar aligns with historical rainfall patterns, how a construction programme should be sequenced around statistically likely wet periods, or whether an outdoor event date carries meaningful weather risk based on decades of local records.

We combine spatial GIS expertise with access to authoritative Australian and global climate datasets, plus the ability to build custom tools that put that data directly in your team’s hands. A one-off analysis for a project report, an ongoing data feed, or a bespoke desktop or browser-based application, delivered in the format you need.

This work sits alongside our GIS data processing capabilities. It runs on the same infrastructure as AerisCast, our free public weather tool, extended into custom analysis, historical datasets and structured professional outputs.

Use cases

Where climate and spatial data change a decision rather than decorate a report.

Custom data processing tools
Bespoke desktop Python applications and browser-based HTML tools built around your data formats and workflows, so your team can process, visualise and export climate and spatial data without specialist GIS software or scripting knowledge.
Agriculture and cropping
Seasonal rainfall outlooks, frost risk windows, evapotranspiration analysis and historical growing season statistics for individual paddock coordinates, helping time planting, harvesting and irrigation.
Construction and scheduling
Probabilistic wet weather allowance calculations for construction programmes, historical workable days analysis, and wind and temperature risk flags for specific project sites.
Outdoor events and venues
Location-specific forecast summaries, historical precipitation percentiles for event dates, and multi-day weather risk reports for concerts, festivals, markets and sporting events.
Property and development risk
Climate exposure profiles for development sites including heat stress days, projected rainfall shifts under climate change scenarios, and extreme wind frequency analysis for environmental impact statements and development applications.
Renewable energy and utilities
Solar irradiance and wind speed statistics for site feasibility, seasonal generation forecasts, and grid stress period analysis for extreme heat events.
Environmental and ecological assessment
Historical temperature and rainfall trend analysis, fire weather index statistics, and drought frequency data to support biodiversity offset calculations and environmental planning reports.
Insurance and risk assessment
Extreme event return period analysis, historical storm frequency mapping, and spatial climate risk profiling for property portfolios, delivered as GIS layers or structured datasets.

Outputs and deliverables

Tailored to your project and team. Typical deliverables include:

Climate summary reports
PDF reports suitable for inclusion in DAs, environmental assessments and project documentation.
Structured datasets
CSV or Excel tables of historical daily, monthly or annual climate statistics for a nominated site.
GIS layers
Rainfall frequency grids, temperature anomaly maps and climate overlays in Shapefile, GeoJSON or GeoPackage.
Forecast packages
Multi-day structured weather data extracted from NWP models for a specific location, for operational planning.
Custom Python desktop apps
Standalone GUI tools requiring no dependencies on the end user machine, for batch processing, data extraction, format conversion and automated reporting.
Custom browser tools
Single-file browser applications for data visualisation, interactive mapping and climate exploration, deployable on any device with no installation.
API integration
Structured data feeds for applications needing ongoing location-based weather or climate inputs.
No lock-in

All custom tools are delivered as standalone files. No ongoing licence fees, no cloud dependency, no vendor lock-in. Your team owns the tool and can run it indefinitely.

How the job runs

  1. Define the question

    We work out exactly what climate question your project needs to answer: the site, time period, variables, and how results will be used.

  2. Source and validate data

    We identify the most appropriate datasets, cross-check source quality, and document data provenance for report inclusion.

  3. Analysis

    The data is extracted, analysed and spatially referenced to your site and requirements.

  4. Deliver and support

    Outputs arrive in your preferred format with clear documentation, and we stay available for follow-up questions from your team or a reviewing agency.

AerisCast is our free location-based 9-day forecast tool, powered by MET Norway and the ECMWF global model. Our Australian Snow Outlook demonstrates the Monte Carlo simulation and climate visualisation work we bring to client projects.

Frequently asked questions

What is location-based climate forecasting?
It uses historical climate records, gridded weather model outputs and site-specific parameters including elevation, terrain and proximity to the coast to generate tailored information for a specific coordinate. Unlike generic regional forecasts, it accounts for local factors that significantly affect conditions on the ground. Particularly valuable for agricultural planning, construction scheduling, event risk management and environmental assessment.
Can you provide historical rainfall and temperature data for a specific site?
Yes. We extract and analyse historical climate datasets from sources including the Bureau of Meteorology, ERA5 reanalysis and AWAP gridded data for any location in Australia. Outputs typically include statistical summaries, extreme event return periods, monthly and annual averages, and trend analysis.
Can you build custom data processing tools in Python or HTML?
Yes, this is one of our core capabilities. We build standalone Python desktop applications packaged to run without installation, and single-file HTML browser tools for climate and spatial data processing. They can automate repetitive extraction or formatting tasks, provide interactive visualisation, or give non-technical team members access to analysis without GIS or coding skills.
Do you provide climate change projections?
Yes. Location-specific projections based on CMIP6 global climate model ensembles for standard planning epochs (2030, 2050, 2090) and emissions scenarios (SSP2-4.5, SSP5-8.5). Commonly required for infrastructure design life assessments, environmental impact statements and strategic planning documents.
How do you integrate climate data into planning projects?
We work alongside planners, environmental consultants and other project team members to deliver climate data in the formats their workflows require, whether GIS layers, structured spreadsheets, or summary statistics for a report appendix. We tailor deliverables to match your report structure and submission requirements.
Can you build a custom weather dashboard for our organisation?
Yes. We build browser-based weather and climate dashboards tailored to your locations, variables and use cases. These can be standalone tools or embedded into existing client portals. AerisCast is an example of the kind of interactive tool we can build privately.
What areas do you cover?
All of Australia, and internationally where required. For historical Australian climate data we primarily use Bureau of Meteorology and ERA5 sources, which provide comprehensive national coverage. For locations outside Australia we use ERA5 and other global reanalysis datasets, along with the ECMWF forecast model.
