9 July 2026: A number of changes will be made over the next two or three weeks to the Daily Weather Summary and Daily Climatic Data sections of AWN. We no longer receive subscription data from the BoM and both these sections will look different to normal for a few weeks as I put new programs and data handling methods into place.

For more information on the changes and the reasons for them, go here.

This yellow box will update as changes are made.

The reports here summarise weather events and climate news, including a round-up of their media coverage. They are archived in the relevant day's Daily Weather Summary to help make it a more complete record of the day's events. Timeliness of the reports is entirely at the mercy of my available time so, for the most up-to-date information, make good use of my media links here.
