Stack the world's leading weather forecast models on a single point. Temperature, rainfall, wind, pressure and cloud cover side-by-side for any Australian location, so you can see at a glance where the models agree and where they don't.
A meteogram is a single chart (or here, a small stack of charts) that shows a forecast for one point over time. Hour by hour, day by day, you can see the predicted temperature, rainfall, wind speed and direction, sea-level pressure, and cloud cover. It's the same kind of view a meteorologist watches before calling a forecast.
What makes ours different: rather than running a single model, we stack several leading numerical weather prediction models on the same time axis. ECMWF, GFS, ICON, AIFS, BoM's own ADFD official forecast, the AI-driven AIGFS, and the HGEFS ensemble — all on the one chart, with synchronised zoom and a tooltip that shows the mean, spread, and range across models when several are layered.
When the models agree, you can trust them more. When they diverge, that disagreement IS the signal: the atmosphere is genuinely uncertain at that hour, and knowing that matters for anything from "do I drive home now" through to "do we delay the concrete pour".
All forecasts are extracted from the same numerical weather model runs that drive our forecast map:

Dark mode
Light mode/<state>/<place>/meteogram (e.g. /vic/melbourne/meteogram) for any town or suburb on the site.No single model is best in every situation, and the gap between models on a given day is itself a useful signal. When five models agree on a 35°C maximum, you can plan for 35°C. When two say 28 and three say 38, you know to wait for tomorrow's run before betting on it.
Each model is sampled at the nearest grid cell to your point. ADFD is the highest resolution at 6 km. ECMWF IFS runs at 9 km, ICON at 13 km, and the rest at 25 km. For most of Australia that means a single grid cell is large enough to cover a small town, so you're seeing a forecast for the area, not the exact suburb.
Most models update 4 times a day (00, 06, 12, 18 UTC). The page picks up the latest fully extracted run automatically. ADFD updates separately, roughly 4× daily on the BoM's schedule.
Not directly today — the page reads pre-extracted model arrays on the server and renders them. If structured download or programmatic access matters to you, that's the kind of thing we're keen to hear about. Tell us how you'd use it.
Each model is accurate within its known limitations. ADFD is the official Bureau forecast and the most trusted for Australian conditions inside the 7-day window. ECMWF IFS is widely considered the world's best operational model. The AI-based models (AIFS, AIGFS) are newer and surprisingly competitive but occasionally produce odd outputs at the edge of their range. Stacking them is a way to see those edges as they happen.
