For weather news as it breaks, the sites on the Weather and Climate Media Reports page are recommended.


Provisional records set or equalled today

Obvious errors have been corrected, however this is realtime data which has not yet been validated. Full validation of official records by the BoM Quality Management System (QMS) is a much more complex process and may take some months. Go here for further information on this records section and how the QMS works. These provisional records are based on data received as at 1402 EST on 09/11/2018.

1 S C Suspect - passed by NSW BoM office in agricultural bulletin, but screen minimum was +4.4. This station has produced many very large variations between screen and ground temperatures in recent months that seem implausible, possibly the result of a change of ground temperature sensor. Await BoM validation.
