The latest Sydney monthly climate summary contains much more detail on the weather across Sydney during January 2007.

These climate summaries have replaced media releases as the Bureau of Meteorology's main collation of such information. The summaries will normally be issued on the first working day of each month, once all the relevant observations are received (for example, maximum temperatures for the last day of the month are not available before the thermometers are checked at 9 am on the 1st). The summaries will cover what has happened across the whole state. An archive of earlier months will be kept at www.bom.gov.au/climate/current/month/nsw/archive/, with an archive of earlier seasons at www.bom.gov.au/climate/current/season/nsw/archive/
