Notes
• The search area is calculated around a defined point at the centre of the selected location (the
centroid). The results presented are for a 50km radius search around the latitude and longitude listed
above.
• Strong wind refers to sustained winds above 50km/h (27 knots) or gusts above 90 km/h (48 knots).
• Daily reports of thunderstorm activity to midnight are updated as soon as possible following receipt of
available data.
• In our storm confirmation analysis, all reported thunderstorms (lightning) and strong wind activity
within the specified area will be identified and reported. There may however be further reports
received by us at a later date. These will be added retrospectively.
• It is possible, especially in the case of isolated thunderstorm activity, that some thunderstorms and/or
strong wind are not detected because we have not received any reports of the storm event.
• Topography and terrain may cause localised wind gusts which are stronger than those detected by
our sparse observation network. As our observation network utilises many stations that only record
wind speeds on an hourly or three hourly basis, a strong wind gust could occur and not be recorded
by the Bureau.
• If you have any doubt about the validity of the data, or you require a storm confirmation for a location
other than those listed, please contact us. We can provide a more detailed and thorough analysis for
a specified fee.
• Hail reports are not currently available through this tool. Please send a request using the form at

specifying the location and dates of interest (charges will apply).
