About the Bureau

We are Australia’s national weather, climate and water information agency and one of the few organisations that touches the lives of all Australians and all Australia, every day.

The Bureau operates under the authority of the Meteorology Act 1955 and the Water Act 2007. We also fulfill Australia’s international obligations under the Convention of the World Meteorological Organization and related international meteorological treaties and agreements.

Our products and services include observations, forecasts, warnings, analysis and advice covering Australia’s atmosphere, water, oceans and space environments.

The Bureau acknowledges the Traditional Owners and Custodians of Country throughout Australia and acknowledges their continuing connection to land, sea and community. We recognise the continuation of cultural and weather knowledge practices of First Nations people.
