Mon 14 Sept 2026: The changes to the Daily Weather Summary and Daily Climatic Data sections of AWN are completed and checked for correct working. They have unfortunately taken longer than expected due to unforseen complexities in the data.

Now that the data is flowing into these sections of AWN, I will fill the gap back to 8 July 2026 and resume the records section of the DWS. Current data is being updated in real time, but data in the gap will be progressively filled from 8 July forward.

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

OCF forecasts and other parts of the site are not affected.

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.
