What’s the weather doing in your suburb?
Meet the Weather Web
The Weather Web gives you real-time weather data for your suburb, not from a distant weather station. Made up of 40 weather stations across the Darwin region, it measures temperature, humidity, pressure, evaporation, rainfall, and wind.
Installed by Living Water Smart, these stations sit on school rooftops, providing even coverage right across Darwin, Palmerston and surrounding suburbs.
Whether you water manually, use a standard irrigation controller, or a smart irrigation controller, the Weather Web makes it easy to adjust your watering based on what’s happening in your suburb.
By checking your local Weather Web station, you can make smarter watering decisions - avoiding overwatering and potentially saving up to 50% on your water bill.
Watering smarter, not harder
Many people simply turn their irrigation on for the dry and off for the wet.
But your garden’s needs change all year round. Factors like rainfall, temperature, humidity, and wind all affect how much water your garden needs and how efficiently your system performs.
Here’s how to make the most of the Weather Web:
- Manual watering: See how rainfall you’ve had in your suburb on the Weather Web before turning on the hose or your irrigation. Simple, local, and smart!
- Standard controller: Manually adjust your watering based on recent rainfall. Or better yet, think about upgrading to a smart system.
- Smart controller: Connect it to the Weather Web so it automatically turns watering up, down, or off based on local conditions.
A perfect pair
A smart irrigation controller plus the Weather Web is the ultimate combination. They’re made for each other. If you’ve been thinking about getting one, now’s the time. The savings on your water bills could pay it off within a year or two, while keeping your garden healthy and water wise.
