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.
