Weather station and wave height information
- Manly Hydraulics Laboratory
- Observations are collected in the New South Wales time zone (Eastern Standard Time) which includes daylight savings in the summer period. Some locations may have a different local time, including weather stations on offshore islands or near state borders. Since 'Rain since 9am' totals and other values are based on the New South Wales time zone, they may not be displayed correctly for these locations. Observations at Coolangatta are collected in the Queensland time zone, which does not include daylight savings.
Data quality
These observations have been taken from the Bureau of Meteorology's real-time system. Most are generated automatically, with only limited quality checks performed. It is possible for incorrect values to appear. Further information can be found at About Latest Weather Observations. Please check the disclaimer before using these data.
