The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) is an Australian government agency responsible for providing weather forecasts, warnings, and climate information. Established in 1908, it plays a crucial role in monitoring and reporting on weather conditions across Australia, helping to keep the public informed and safe. BOM operates a network of weather stations, satellites, and radar systems to collect data. This information is used to predict weather patterns and provide updates on severe weather events, such as storms and floods. The agency also contributes to climate research and provides valuable data for various sectors, including agriculture and emergency services.
