The latest Sydney monthly climate summary contains much more detail on the weather for all of February, and the latest Sydney seasonal climate summary details the weather for all of summer.
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/
Please note: This will be the final routine notification of monthly and seasonal summaries. Future media releases will only be issued concerning significant events and/or when the monthly summary contains information of potentially high media interest.
