Live ACCESS-G maps

The numerical point feed used by the app is paused upstream, but ACCESS-G itself is running. These are the Bureau’s current deterministic ACCESS-G charts, loaded directly from its public chart service: rainfall and surface pressure, plus temperature and humidity near 850 hPa.

What is—and is not—wired in

These maps restore current ACCESS-G guidance inside the hobby app without relabelling another model. They are genuine regional model products, not point samples. The app does not read a colour from the image and pretend it is a resort temperature or precipitation amount.

The existing point comparison continues to probe Open-Meteo’s ACCESS-G domain on every build. When that machine-readable feed resumes, its resort series can return without changing this map route. Until then, ACCESS-G cannot supply this app’s pressure-level wet-bulb snow-level calculation.

850 hPa is a pressure surface, not a fixed resort elevation; its height varies with the atmosphere. Read temperature and humidity together for broad airmass structure, not as a thermometer at a lift.
