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.

This will bring easterly winds for the aerodrome during the day, with a sea breeze developing in the afternoon. During the evening the pressure gradient tightens further creating moderate turbulence and gusty conditions. THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL WITHIN THE TMA (CIRCLE TO 36NM RADIUS): - Nil. OTHER POSSIBILITIES: -A medium chance of fog in the eastern TMA over the Perth Hills between 13 1800Z and 14 0000Z. Near zero chance at aerodrome given easterly surface winds and southerly gradient winds. -Showers are expected in the southern TMA until 14 0100Z. Only a very slight chance of affecting the aerodrome and not expected to reduce visibility. -A slight chance of low clouds in the southern and eastern TMA between 13 2000Z and 14 0200Z. Unlikely to affect aerodrome. - 30% chance that the sea breeze stalls, just to the southwest of the aerodrome and does not make it all the way to the aerodrome. - 14 1400Z to 15 0000Z: There is a chance that wind gusts could reach up to 35 knots at times. - 14 1400Z to 15 0000Z: If there is a period where the wind speed and gusts at the surface drop out to below 10 knots, then there is a high chance of wind sheer.
