Daily Weather Summary

Archive and Index Oct 1998 - Dec 1999

Use this index to find stories by date. It is gradually being extended backwards in time to provide a complete chronological index of Australian Weather News back to 1996.

• Back to Page 1
• Dates without links indicate no reports of significant weather have been found for that date.
• Missing dates indicate there may have been significant weather, but no reports have yet been written -- there are some substantial gaps which may, one day, be filled.
• Dates asterisked indicate there may be further stories for this date awaiting writing.
• Dates in italics are general news items.
