MetWatch Online is a web version of the award winning MetWatch software. MetWatch Online aims to reliably provide customized access to unique, critical weather information, disease information and interpretations to assist individuals in making the right decisions for better management of their crops and disease for quality and value - while gaining piece of mind.

You will have access all of the weather stations from the extensive BOM Weather Station Network, including more stations from private owners, for data when you want it, with a wide range of analysis tools. This includes hour-by-hour weather information with highly localized weather forecasts, 10-day regional forecasts and interpretations of this data for disease risk, also growing degree days and winter chilling units data. As an added bonus you will also have the extended historic weather records of all weather stations for analysis and comparison.

MetWatch Online can help you to document the decision making process - helping you to meet requirements of various Integrated Production programs and EurepGAP. Weather station data and weather forecast information is combined and interpreted for:

• Spraying Conditions.
• Disease Risk Assessments.
• Crop Management Information.

Features

• A graphical display of weather data and disease risk that is easy to understand and interpret.
• Use our extensive weather station network to give up-to-the-hour disease risk assessments and crop management information.

• Flexible format that allows the user to change the number of days displayed, the canopy-drying period, leaf wetness thresholds, heat unit accumulation threshold and other options specific to each disease model.
