11 Apr 2025: Problems in loading the rain forecast maps in the forecast section are being addressed. I will notify here when the new system is operating.

11 Apr 2025: The climate data section of the site is being upgraded to improve the reliability of the Daily Weather Summary, especially the records section. This will take several weeks to complete. During this time, there will be occasional delays in routine site updates but these will avoid critical times when new data and forecasts are received as far as possible.

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.
