The Airport Weather Briefing (AWB) is a plain language description of the TAF.
The AWB:
- contains a summary of the TAF
- gives a more detailed description of the possible hazards (including thunderstorms, fog, and other visibility reductions), and the corresponding probabilities
- considers only the weather hazards within the terminal airspace (TMA).
AWBs are provided for:
- Adelaide
- Brisbane
- Darwin (wet season only)
- Melbourne
- Perth
- Sydney.
AWB are issued within 30 minutes of the routine 06Z and 18Z issue TAF but are not amended or updated once issued. For operational planning, reference should be made to the latest TAF.

Overnight, showers and cloud develop as a light trough passes over the aerodrome. Sunday morning winds pick up into a fresh Westerly with gusts.

Thundery rain will likely form across the area overnight, possibly clearing tomorrow morning as a low to mid-level trough moves offshore. Showers and thunderstorms that initiate near a surface trough approaching from the west, may impact the aerodrome tomorrow afternoon. Northeast to northwesterly winds are likely to persist during the TAF period. Significant uncertainty remains around thunderstorm timings tomorrow. If thunderstorms and/or rain periods persist well into the morning period, then the afternoon storm activity will likely develop later than forecast. THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL WITHIN THE TMA (CIRCLE TO 30NM RADIUS): 1506-1512Z: 100% chance in the TMA, most likely across western parts of the TMA. 1512-1521Z: 60% chance in the TMA. 1521-1603Z: 40% chance in the TMA (20% chance at the aerodrome) 1603-1612Z: 70% chance in the TMA (20% chance at the aerodrome between 1603-1604Z), most likely across western parts of the TMA. Wind gusts exceeding 60 knots are possible this afternoon. Large hail and 45 knots wind gusts are possible tomorrow afternoon. OTHER POSSIBILITIES: - 30% chance of alternate periods of cloud and visibility reductions below HAM in rain/showers between 1512-1522Z. - 30% chance of TEMPO periods of low cloud below HAM between 1521-1522, 10% chance below SAM. - 30% chance of INTER periods of showers/rain between 1521-1604Z.
