About this service

The Bureau is currently developing a nation-wide automated thunderstorm/lightning/strong wind verification system. As an interim measure, this page has been initiated, as a fore-runner to the final service, to deliver the manually-produced storm confirmations currently available for some of the major population centres in New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory.
Storm confirmation for areas, States and Territories not covered by this product are still available by contacting the relevant Bureau office in the State concerned. Please note that there will be a charge for this service (Minimum fee $65). Until further advised, subscribers can avoid these additional charges by quoting their allocated Registered User name when requesting reports for areas beyond the coverage of this service. See the list above for contact details.

This registered user service is to be provided on a cost recovery basis and, following an initial, free introductory period, will be billed through subscription charging.
