On this page, links are provided to sites from which satellite images, weather webcams, weather observations, weather charts, climatic data and educational material can be obtained.

You will find in the Miscellaneous section a link to the Australian Bureau of Meteorology’s Indigenous Weather Knowledge site. You may wish to consider indigenous weather knowledge a topic worthy of study.

Please note that GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) and UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) are for all practical purposes one and the same thing.

With regard to barometric pressure units, please note that 1 mb (millibar) = 1 hPa (hectopascal).
