AMetA (the Australian Meteorological Association Inc) was established in 1969 under the direction of John ‘Doc’ Hogan, the then South Australian Regional Director of the Bureau of Meteorology. One of its primary purposes has been to open up communication between the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) and people in the community who either use weather services or have an interest in meteorology.
A Personal Weather Station ( PWS ) Interest Group has recently been started for members who wish to share with other members their interests in personal weather stations (uses, technology, etc).

About Meetings
Traditionally we have held meetings on the third Tuesday evening of each “even-numbered” month (except December). The starting time of meetings has varied from time to time. At present the meetings run from 7pm to about 8:30pm.
Due to the impact of COVID-19, we have been meeting at St Saviour’s Anglican Church hall, 596 Portrush Road, Glen Osmond. However, please note that we are investigating more-affordable alternatives.
