Sold out calendar celebrates a Bureau of Meteorology century
The Bureau of Meteorology's 100 years of service to the Australian community is celebrated in the 2008 Australian Weather Calendar. The calendar is now sold out.
The full-colour, large format (A2), spiral-bound wall calendar features photographs of striking weather events in Australia, and monthly tables of average weather conditions for 12 Australian cities and towns.
The calendar has been produced each year since 1985 by the Bureau of Meteorology and the Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society as a not-for-profit publication. About 10,000 complimentary calendars are each year sent to volunteer and cooperative weather observers, emergency services, Australian Missions overseas, and national meteorological services.
