In this section of our web site we would like to help you find the information you want quickly and easily. Along the way we hope your awareness of what the Bureau of Meteorology has to offer will increase, and perhaps you will understand the field of meteorology better. Consider the following information as a starting point.

Climate & weather: what's the difference?
There is a variety of ways to explain the difference. Here are a few that may shed some light:

Climate is what you expect; weather is what you get.

Climate is about long-term records, trends and averages;
weather is the day to day experience.

Climate is the sum or synthesis of all the weather recorded over a long period of time. It tells us the average or most common conditions, or extremes, or counts of events, or frequencies. Weather is a description of conditions over a short period of time - a "snap shot" of the atmosphere at a particular time.

If weather is the watch then climate is the calendar.

What's Available

We have resources such as brochures, reports and glossaries in the form of web pages and PDF documents. You will find: weather charts, weather forecasts, climate data, maps, graphics, animations and details of the Bureau of Meteorology's structure and services.

The Bureau wishes to acknowledge the work done by the students employed under the Work Experience and Vocational Education and Training schemes. Some of the web pages and animations found in the Students and Teachers section were produced by those students.

I can tell you the activities of Indian meteorologist.
1. Helping our politician to issue falls statements.
2. Criticizing the real inventions,
3. Finding lame excuse for their in efficiency . This is what has happened in our country during Tsunami. I have designed several safety equipments. With the use of simple quake alarm I have issued the warning 2 hours before it struck our Indian coast. Several scientist appreciated my invention. Some of the meteorologist criticized me to hide their fault. They never cared to know how it was possible for me to issue the warning when they failed to do so.
