Daily Weather Summary
Archive and Index 2005
National temperature, rainfall and
wind extremes are available for every day. Use the links
at left.
Descriptions of weather events are written a day or more after the
event to give time for accurate information to become available. The
headlines are listed below, and in Weather Events on the home
page. For weather news as it breaks, I can recommend the ABC
weather page .
Events
are classed as major , newsworthy or significant .
A date with no entries means events for this day have not yet been
recorded. Any significant events may be written up later.
Information often becomes available weeks or months after an event.
If this results in a new story, it is listed in the Weather Events headlines
on the home page. If it results in an update to an existing story,
an sticker
appears beside the headline below for about a week.
