Australian Air Temperature, Humidity and Pressure Data

Dry bulb, wet bulb and dew point temperatures, relative humidity, vapour pressure and saturated vapour pressure, mean sea level pressure and station level pressure data have been compiled for all stations across Australia. For each station the corresponding data file contains data from the start of recording until the latest available. Some stations do have gaps in the record. Not all elements are measured at each station, and not all elements may be measured over the same period of time at the same station.
Generally, observations are 3-hourly synoptic readings.
 
The data for approximately 1700 stations is held on two CD ROMs or one DVD ROM, grouped according to the State of Australia in which the station is located. The amount of data is approximately 4.8 Gbyte, with data compressed into ZIP format.
