SUMMARY : The station is powered by a Davis Vantage Pro 2 weather station, with a 24 hour Fan Asperated Radiation Shield for better Temperature recording as well as UV and Solar Radiation Sensors and Soil Temperature and Moisture Sensors at 100mm and 400mm depth.

The data is collected every 2.5 seconds and the site is updated every 15 seconds, using CU-MX Software.

The station is comprised of an anemometer, a rain gauge and a thermo-hydro sensor situated in optimal positions for highest accuracy possible.

In addition there is an onsite Purple Air Quality Monitor, also a 4K HKVision Weather Cam that runs 24 hours a day recording and supplying the last 7 Days of 24 Hour Time-Lapse Videos.

In addition Seismic data is also recorded onsite 24 Hours a day using a Raspberry Shake Monitor 4D which is housed in an underground Vault.

In addition we generate onsite weather forecasts up to 7 Days out (every 3 hours and data output is displayed in 30 minute intervals, in Graphical and Text Formats), using WxSim Software Customised specifically for Beaumaris Weather Station. You can read more about Our Onsite Forecasts by clicking here.

This station also sends onsite Observation data 24/7 to (WU - Weather Underground , BoM WOW - Metoffice and Windy.com), to be used for weather analysis and area forecasting.

About - Beaumaris ( This beautiful beach side area )


Beaumaris is a small community with a population of approximately 300 people ( and growing ) on the north-east coast of Tasmania, situated beteween St Helens and Scamander in the Parish of FRAMPTON in the Land District of CORNWALL Tasmania.

Beaumaris is served by the Break O'Day Council - St Helens Tasmania and is principally composed of beach-front properties, many of which are holiday or rental accommodation. The area is known for surfing, beach fishing and beach walking along it's extensive picturesque white sand beaches and turquoise waters.

Beaumaris is a great place to chill out and let nature come to you.

Beaumaris from a local's point of view, is a relaxed coastal town right on the beach where the sound of crashing waves and the smell of sea salt invigorate your soul.

Surfside is the local drinking hole and where locals and visitors alike gather for a great feed, a casual drink or a game of pool.

Beaumaris is 5 minutes from Scamander (pharmacy, fuel, supermarket, post office, take aways) and 12 minutes from St Helens which is the largest town on Tasmania's east coast.

St Helens is home to a hospital, doctors surgery, dental surgery, substantial retail shopping district, great restaurants, school, Medea Park Residential Care nursing home, vet and more.

The township is serviced by a twice daily bus service to the coastal towns and also major cities. 4g Optus and Telstra coverage available plus NbN broadband internet.

Beaumaris Tasmania is named after a small town on the Isle of Anglesey in Wales, it was a former Viking settlement known as PorthyWygyr, with developmental growth traced back to 1295 when Edward I of England, having conquered Wales, commissioned the building of Beaumaris Castle ( Visit Beaumaris Castle )as part of a chain of fortifications around the North Wales coast. In 1939, The Dunlop Rubber Company bought a large area of Beaumaris intending to build a garden city, but was disrupted by war and economic shortages that halted their plans, and so by the early 1950’s Beaumaris was largely undeveloped. The town was however announced as a locality in 1967 after a lengthy span of architectural evolution.

About - Our Onsite Forecasts


We generate onsite weather forecasts up to 7 Days out (every 3 hours and data output is displayed in 30 minute intervals, in Graphical and Text Formats), using WxSim Software Customised specifically for Beaumaris Weather Station.

These 7 Day weather forecasts are produced by us specifically for the Beaumaris area, but can also be relevant to the surrounding areas within an 80 km radius.

For the purpose of these onsite forecasts, Day forecasts cover the times of 06:00 - 18:00 AEST/AEDT and Night forecasts cover 18:00 - 06:00 AEST/AEDT. For example Monday night is 18:00 Monday to 06:00 Tuesday. Rainfall is calculated as midnight to midnight.

All forecast Times are auto adjusted for DST (Daylight Saving Time).
Data used within WxSim is our own onsite observed weather data as well as a Mix of Data obtained from ( GFS ) Global Forecast System and ( ECMWF ) European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts.

WXSIM (Weather Simulator) is a powerful, truly one-of-a-kind tool for forecasting, or just plain studying weather. Its primary purpose is providing accurate, detailed forecasts tailored for your specific location, using a combination of imported real-time and model data (from the internet, plus optionally from your home weather station) and its own internal modeling capabilities. It can even improve its forecasts by learning from past results!

Here are some of the ways WXSIM's hundreds of registered users have employed the program over the last 25+ years:
1: Generating forecasts for a home weather station, using its data.
2: Professional forecasts for clients (i.e. for media, agriculture, electrical energy load forecasting, and wind turbines).
3: Forecasting for recreation (i.e. sailing, soaring, and snow skiing).
4: Education, including teaching forecasting skills.
Here are some of the things that WXSIM can forecast (out to 7 Days):
1: Temperature (2 meters above ground, 5 different altitudes above surface, 5 sub-surface depths, at grass surface, plus wind chill factor).
2: Dew point, relative humidity, wet bulb temperature, heat index, and humidex, 2 meters above the surface.
3: Wind speed (and gust strength) and direction 10 meters above the surface, plus wind speed for 2 other heights for wind turbines.
4: Cloud cover and opacity at 5 different heights.
5: Precipitation type and intensity, plus snow depth and ice accumulation (including melting and sublimation).
6: Stability parameters and likelihood of thunderstorms or severe convection.
And much more!
