Weather Stations
The MRC weather stations are collecting weather data at Camperdown and Noorat campuses. This data is live-fed into a worldwide platform Weather Underground and can be viewed online in real time.
Weather Underground combines data from over 250,000+ personal weather stations and a proprietary forecast model to give you the most accurate and hyperlocal forecasts, at a microclimate level. Weather Underground provides local & long-range weather forecasts, weather reports, maps & tropical weather conditions for locations worldwide.
