Latest Coastal Weather Observations: NSW | Vic | Qld | WA | SA | Tas | NT

About this table

These observations have not been quality controlled.
Different stations report at different time intervals, ranging from half hourly to twice daily.
Some stations are up to several kilometres inland.
All observations including locations outside of QLD are shown in local time, EST.
Wind 'Dir' is the direction the wind comes from, reported to 16 points of the compass.
Wind observations are a 10-minute average from the standard height of 10 metres.
Wind speed is a 10 minute average speed in knots.
The wind gust is measured over 3 seconds.
Trend in pressure since the last observation that has been corrected for diurnal variation. Diurnal variation means two peaks and troughs in pressure each day. (R rising, F falling, S steady).
'+' indicates 'greater than', '<' indicates 'less than'.
'Trace' is a trace (<0.1mm) of rainfall.
'Weather' is described, when data is available.
'Cloud' cover is described, when data is available.
'Vis' is the visibility distance in whole kilometres, above 5 kilometres. Below 5 kilometres, visibility is in tenths of a kilometre down to 0.1 (100 metres). '0' indicates visibility less than 100 metres.
Sea height is reported in metres.
Swell is reported as height and length, both in metres.
'CF' indicates 'Confused Swell'. 'NS' indicates 'No Swell'.
Swell 'Dir' is the direction the swell comes from, reported to 8 points of the compass. Example 'SW' means southwest.
'Highest Wind Gust' is Highest Wind Gust measured from midnight to midnight for the current calendar day.
(Note: Maximum Wind Gusts in the Bureau's climate records are measured from midnight to midnight and may differ from the values shown in this table.)
'-' indicates that no data is available at that time.
