About WOW WOW is for everyone interested in weather who wants to share and exchange information in an online community environment. It's a great resource for weather enthusiasts, educators, farmers, gardeners and anyone with an interesting weather photo or weather fact to contribute. How you can 'share your weather' and make a difference The independent information you submit to WOW increases knowledge of weather and climate, as well as raising awareness of unrecorded weather events. This leads to better informed communities, in remote, regional and local areas. Your weather information really counts! Here are some of the things you can do right now on WOW: Submit regular manual and automatic weather observations Upload photos or one-off 'quick' reports such as "it is hailing now", "it is foggy" or "there is a thunderstorm" View data on maps, and also in tables and graphs Compare your weather to local Bureau Automatic Weather Stations (AWS) A dedicated Australian entry WOW's success in the UK has led the Bureau of Meteorology to work with the Met Office (the UK's National Weather Service), to trial an Australian entry-point to WOW History - in the making WOW was developed by the Met Office. It was released in 2011 to provide a hub for UK weather observations, helping educate children about weather and encourage further growth in the UK's amateur weather observing community. In November 2012 WOW won "Best Use of Cloud Services" and "IT Project Demonstrating Most Effective Use of Collaborative Technology" at the prestigious UK IT Industry Awards. WOW's popularity continues to grow with an average of over four million observations being received every month. Please view, or register and start submitting your observations and help make WOW a success in Australia.
