Passing of a much loved Weather Enthusiast

Yesterday the weather community was dealt a shocking blow as we learnt that a well respected and loved weather enthusiast passed away. Keith Barnett, who was known for his knowledge of weather events and incredible ability to recall statistics, passed away yesterday. We here at ASWA are deeply saddened by his passing, and we send our condolences to Keith's family. May you Rest In Peace, Keith.

ASWA Forum Rules

The Australian Severe Weather Association has put together a forum for use by its members to discuss anything weather related or anything at all. The following are some rules and guidelines that will help keep the forum constructive and friendly.
  1. Abusive language, Personal Attacks and Hostile Natured Posts will not be tolerated.
  2. Try to constuct your post in a way that is informative or educational. One lined posts such as 'It is raining outside' or 'Look at the radar!' are not appreciated and anyone found posting these types of posts will be warned.
  3. Avoid posting images and videos that are not of your own creation without seeking permission from the owner first.
  4. Information taken from resources such as the Bureau of Meteorology will always remain the property of the respective owner. If you copy and paste information from these sources please state where you copied it from. If you are unsure, post a link to the information instead.
  5. Avoid using excessive capital letters in your post. Excessive capital letters are considered to be yelling in the on-line world.
  6. Post your topic in the correct forum as best as you can. If you are not sure, pick the closest one. If your topic is considered to be in the wrong forum, a moderator will move it for you.
  7. Try to use descriptive subject lines, without making them too long. Describe your topic in as few words as possible, making it as informative as possible
  8. People will post their own opinions, and in many cases these opinions may be taken the wrong way or you may not agree with them. By all means state your opinion also, but do not have a go at someone because you do not agree with them.

 

The Moderators of this forum reserve the right to take any action they deem neccesary to adhere to these rules and guidelines. If you have any issues with any of these rules or would like to know more information about why action was taken against you, please contact one of the moderators.

 

In addition to the above, it is important to note that ASWA will never use your images or video without your consent. If consent is given, credit to you will be given unless told otherwise by yourself.

 

Apart from all of the above, we hope you enjoy your time in our Forums.

 

ASWA Survey

At ASWA, we have thought long and hard about what our members want from us as an organisation focussing on Severe Weather. We came up with many ideas, but in the end we realised it was our members that should have the opportunity to tell us what they wanted.
So we developed a Feedback survey, which will allow you to tell us your thoughts. We invite you to take this survey, which contains a series of 32 questions split into 5 sections. It will take approximately 5 to 10 minutes to complete.
The best part is, we have prizes to give away to people who do the survey!
You must be logged in to do the survey, so if you are not registered with ASWA you can sign up today by clicking the Register link on the left hand side. Registration is Free with our Social Membership, however if you would like to support ASWA we also have a Support Membership for just $33/yr. These funds go towards improving ASWA in the future.
Prizes for the survey include:
  • 'I Brake For Wind' Bumper Stickers
  • Tornado Alley Poster signed by Sean Casey
  • ASWA Classic Hoody valued at $45
  • ASWA Classic/New Stickers
  • A Kestrel 1000 Pocket Weather Meter valued at $149
So there are plenty of reasons to complete this survey, which you can start now by clicking here.

ASWA Survey Completed

The ASWA Survey is now completed. We received a total of 45 submissions which is more than we could have hoped for.

ASWA Would like to thank all those that submitted a response. It will take some time for us to go through the responses, but rest assured we will be taking every suggestion seriously.

The prizes will be sorted out soon and the winners announced there after.

Once again, thank you to all who took the time to respond.
