Source of data

Temperature, humidity, wind, cloud and rainfall observations are from Bellambi AWS {station 068228}. Pressure observations are from Albion Park (Wollongong Airport) {station 068241}.

Cloud observations are from automated equipment and are somewhat different to those made by a human observer. Albion Park is about 25 km southwest of Bellambi (and 18 km from Wollongong), and the pressure there will sometimes be markedly different. The closest site with sunshine or evaporation observations is at Sydney Airport, about 60 km to the north of Wollongong. The site at Wollongong University closed in June 2008; if you want data from there please contact us.

You should read the important information in these notes.
