    Weather Alerts Australia — Real-Time Warnings From Every Official Source

    Tim's weather alerts Australia service ingests and normalises official severe weather warnings from BOM, JTWC, Geoscience Australia, USGS and AFAC/state fire agencies into a single, unified feed. Each hazard is matched to your saved locations using PostGIS spatial queries — including BOM warning polygons and forecast-district centroids — then dispatched to your phone via SMS, email and push notifications within roughly 60 seconds of publication.

    Verified data streams from

    How it works

    How alerts are matched to your locations

    Our pipeline ingests warnings from every official source — BOM, JTWC, Geoscience Australia, USGS, AFAC/state fire services and AFDRS — and normalises them into a single, de-duplicated hazard feed. Every saved location has a point (lat/lon) and an alert radius you set (5–200 km, default 50 km). Each hazard is matched to your locations using PostGIS spatial queries with true great-circle distance, and BOM warnings are further refined using official forecast-district polygons and coastal zones.

    Quiet hours & severity: SMS and voice are paused during your quiet hours and never used for Info-level events (those still go to email and push). Emergency and Catastrophic alerts always break through quiet hours.
    State-border filter: When an official warning lists affected states, we only match locations inside those states — so a NSW warning will not trigger for a QLD subscriber even if they are within radius.
    BOM warnings — per-district matching: Each BOM warning lists the forecast districts and coastal zones it covers. We split the warning into one alert per named area and match against that area's centre point with a tighter 40–200 km radius (smaller for metro zones, larger for inland districts). This works alongside our global PostGIS hazard matching to give precise, location-specific alerts rather than simple proximity pings. If a named area isn't in our reference list yet, we fall back to a state-wide 250 km match so you're still notified, and the unknown name is logged so we can add it.

    All data is provided "as is" from official sources. See our Disclaimer for full terms.

    How our Australia weather alerts work

    1. 01

      Pin your locations

      Save your home, work, family and holiday spots. Our PostGIS engine watches each point against official warning polygons in real time.

    2. 02

      We aggregate and spatially match

      Every few minutes we ingest warnings from all official sources, normalise them into a single hazard feed, then match them to your saved locations using PostGIS spatial queries and official BOM warning polygons — precise alerts, not just proximity pings.

    3. 03

      You get the alert

      SMS, email and push notifications fire immediately — dispatched within roughly 60 seconds of publication, on every channel your plan includes.
