Retirement of Weather Stations app

The iOS and Android versions of DPIRD’s Weather Stations app (also known as DAFWA Weather Stations) are no longer supported by the Apple and Google app stores and will be permanently retired on 16 February 2024. After this date, the app will cease to function. We understand this could be disruptive for our users and apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.  

DPIRD recently launched a new version of the DPIRD Weather Stations app for iOS users. For Android users, a new version of the app is currently in production and will launch later in 2024.

The new-look app offers simple access to latest weather and other conditions, as well as the ability for users to save their favourite stations. Graphics have been modernised to improve readability. There is also a survey link for users to provide feedback on preferred features to add in future updates.

DPIRD offers several alternative options for continued access to weather information from its stations.  These include:

Website: DPIRD Weather Stations website [1]

App Store (for iOS only): DPIRD Weather Stations app [2]

ServiceWA:  App for iOS [3]

ServiceWA:  App for Android [4]

For further information on setting up ServiceWA visit their website [5].

When will the new DPIRD Weather Stations apps be available?

The new iOS [2] version of the app is now available on the App Store [2].

The new Android version of the Weather Stations app will be available later in 2024. Once released, the Android app will be available via Google Play [6].

How much longer can I access the DAFWA Weather Station app?

The DAFWA Weather Stations app for both iOS and Android will be permanently discontinued from 16 February 2024. After this date, you will no longer be able to login and access information from this app.

If I have an Apple device how will this impact my access to DPIRD’s weather information?
