Calendar celebrates a Bureau of Meteorology century
The Bureau of Meteorology's 100 years of service to the Australian
community is celebrated in the 2008 Australian Weather
Calendar, available over the counter
at selected bureau offices, and by mail order.
The price of calendars purchased at bureau offices remains at
$12, and the price of mail-order copies sent within Australian
stays at $17.50. However the prices of calendars sent overseas
are less than last year. Scroll down the page for all the details.
Of note is that the calendar can be purchased online this year.
The full-colour, large format (A2),
spiral-bound wall calendar features photographs of striking weather
events in Australia, and monthly tables of average weather conditions
for 12 Australian cities and towns.
The calendar has been produced each year since 1985 by the Bureau
of Meteorology and the Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic
Society as a not-for-profit publication. About 10,000 complimentary
calendars are each year sent to volunteer and cooperative weather
observers, emergency services, Australian Missions overseas, and
national meteorological services.
