The information provided on Tim's Severe Weather Australia is for general informational and educational purposes only. While we strive to provide accurate and up-to-date weather information, forecasts, warnings, and related content, we make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability, or availability of the information, products, services, or related graphics contained on this website.

This website does not provide professional meteorological advice, emergency management guidance, or official weather warnings. The content should not be used as a substitute for professional meteorological services or official emergency management communications.

We provide weather information, forecasts, and related content "as is" without warranty of any kind. We expressly disclaim all warranties, including but not limited to:

• Accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of weather forecasts and observations
• Reliability of data from third-party sources including Open-Meteo, Bureau of Meteorology, and other weather services
• Availability or uninterrupted access to the website or its features
• Fitness for any particular purpose or use
• Freedom from errors, omissions, or technical issues

Weather forecasting is inherently uncertain. Forecasts are predictions based on current atmospheric conditions and computer models, which can change rapidly and may not accurately predict actual weather events.

This website aggregates, displays, and presents weather data from various third-party sources:

We do not control, verify, or guarantee the accuracy of third-party data. Data may be delayed, incomplete, or unavailable due to technical issues, API limitations, or service interruptions beyond our control.

By using this website, you acknowledge and agree that:

• You use the information at your own risk and discretion
• You are solely responsible for any decisions or actions taken based on information from this website
• You will verify critical information through official sources before making important decisions
• You understand weather forecasts are estimates and actual conditions may differ significantly
• You accept full responsibility for your safety and property during weather events
• You will not hold this website liable for any losses, damages, or injuries

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Tim's Severe Weather Australia, its owner, operators, contributors, volunteers, employees, agents, licensors, suppliers, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to:

• Your access to, use of, or inability to use this website, its data, or its alerts
• Any decision, action, or omission you (or any third party acting on information you shared) take based on content from this website
• Your breach of these terms, the Disclaimer, the Privacy Policy, or any applicable law
• Any property damage, personal injury, illness, financial loss, or death allegedly resulting from reliance on weather data, forecasts, warnings, alerts, or AI-generated content sourced from or displayed on this website

Weather, cyclones, bushfires, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, lightning, severe storms, and other natural hazards are inherently dangerous and unpredictable. By using this website you expressly and voluntarily assume all risks, known and unknown, associated with relying on any weather information, forecast, observation, alert, notification, map, model output, or educational content provided here. You acknowledge that no forecast — including those from official agencies — can guarantee what will actually occur, and you accept full responsibility for your own safety, the safety of those in your care, and your property.

Parts of this website use artificial intelligence to generate forecasts, summaries, articles, chatbot responses, image alt text, headlines, and other content. AI output:

• May be incomplete, outdated, inaccurate, or factually wrong ("hallucinated")
• Is generated automatically and is not reviewed by a meteorologist or any human before publication in every case
• Must not be treated as professional, scientific, medical, legal, financial, or emergency advice
• Should always be verified against official sources before any decision is made

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we accept no liability whatsoever for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, AI-generated content displayed on or produced by this website.

Severe weather, fire, flood, earthquake, tsunami and related alerts delivered by SMS, email, push notification or any other channel are part of a paid, subscription-based service. They are a best-effort, supplementary convenience service and are not a replacement for the Bureau of Meteorology, your State Emergency Service, the Australian Warning System, or Triple Zero (000).

You acknowledge and agree that:

• Delivery of any alert is not guaranteed and may be delayed, throttled, duplicated, mis-routed, blocked, filtered as spam, rate-limited, suppressed or never delivered at all due to carrier, network, device, operating system, browser, third-party messaging provider (including but not limited to our SMS, email and push delivery vendors), upstream data-source, software, geographic or any other factor outside our reasonable control
• Alert content is derived from third-party feeds (BOM, JTWC, USGS, NOAA, Geoscience Australia, Open-Meteo and others) and may contain errors, omissions, mis-classifications or significant delays compared with the originating agency
• Payment of a subscription fee does not entitle you to any guaranteed delivery time, accuracy level, uptime, frequency or geographic coverage. Subscription fees pay for access to the service as configured at any given time, not for any specific delivery outcome
• You will not rely solely on alerts from this website to protect life or property, and you will maintain independent monitoring of official sources during any weather, fire, flood, earthquake or tsunami event
• We may add, change, suspend, throttle or remove any alert channel, threshold, severity rule, frequency, geographic coverage, plan, feature, price, or the service in its entirety, at any time, with or without notice
• You are solely responsible for all costs incurred on your devices and accounts in connection with receiving alerts, including but not limited to mobile carrier SMS and MMS charges, international roaming fees, data charges, premium-number fees, voicemail charges, and any costs arising from replying to, forwarding or otherwise interacting with messages we send you
• Replies to SMS alerts — including STOP, HELP, START or any other text — may incur standard or premium SMS charges from your carrier, may not be received or processed by us, and may be handled by our messaging provider rather than acted on in real time. The authoritative way to manage your subscription, channels, locations, quiet hours and contact details is through your account on this website
• You confirm you are the authorised account holder and bill payer for every phone number, email address, push-enabled device and other contact endpoint you register with the service, and that you have permission to receive alerts at those endpoints
• It is your responsibility to keep your contact details, location preferences, device permissions, push subscription, browser, operating system, app and payment method current. Alerts that fail to reach you because of out-of-date, blocked, full, disconnected, lost, ported, recycled or invalid contact endpoints are not our responsibility, and no refund, credit or pro-rata adjustment will be given for that period
• Billing, renewals, cancellations and refunds are governed by the published Terms of Service, our payment processor's terms, and the Australian Consumer Law. To the maximum extent permitted by law, refunds for service-delivery issues are limited to resupply of the service or refund of the price paid for the affected billing period, at our election

Continued use of the alert service after any change to these terms, to pricing, or to the service's features constitutes acceptance of the changes. If you do not accept the terms in force at any time, your sole remedy is to cancel your subscription via your account page.
