About this forecast

Wind is at 10 m above ground. Solar is global horizontal irradiance (GHI), an hourly mean ending at the displayed time, not panel generation. Cloud cover is sky coverage, not cloud thickness or solar loss. Curves use the saved Open-Meteo grid at 3° spacing; local conditions may differ. All times are AEST (UTC+10), including locations outside eastern Australia.
