Jane's Weather

What Jane's Weather does

Jane's Weather Pty Ltd (ACN 649 455 443), founded in 2021 by meteorologist Jane Bunn, is an Australian, Victoria-incorporated, privately held company (11–50 employees) that operates an AI-powered hyper-local weather forecasting platform primarily serving Australian agriculture, with secondary use cases in construction, renewable energy, alpine/tourism and local government. The company's core product is the Jane's Weather PRO tiered subscription (Essentials free, Starter A$10/month, PRO Lite A$49/month, PRO A$99/month, plus a limited 'Weather Ready PRO' A$495/year promotion), accessed via web, iOS and Android apps, and packaged for enterprise through a Weather API, embeddable widgets, and a direct field-sales motion.

The underlying platform is the 'AI Forecast / Advanced Consensus' — a proprietary machine learning model that ingests global weather model outputs (including a ~9 km resolution European model refreshed four times daily), Bureau of Meteorology data, and user-controlled weather station observations (Davis, Weather Underground, METOS, FrostBoss, Arable, AgLogic, Wildeye, Greenbrain/Crop X) and re-runs every 2.5 hours, progressively learning each site's microclimate. Domain-specialised modules including Spray Conditions (delta-T, inversions, wind), Frost Risk, Growing Degree Days, Evapotranspiration, UV Index, Fog Risk and a 'Threat Toolbox' summary turn those forecasts into operational decisions. Distribution combines self-serve PLG, OEM/embedded via the API and widgets (e.g., Mount Buller alpine forecasts), channel partnerships (Instrument Choice, TAFCO, AgLogic), and strategic industry-body alignment (Hort Innovation co-funding, AUSVEG promotion), with revenue anchored on subscriptions, API licensing and widget/embedded arrangements.
