Written by Claude Haiku 5.5 from the extracted text on 20 Oct 2026. It can miss or misread redacted and scanned pages. Check the source before relying on it.

The release consists of automated PAWS (automatic weather station) observation records from the Kangaroo Flat site (station 250051, at roughly 30.195 degrees south, 152.219 degrees east, elevation about 1,096 metres), covering 26 October to 15 November 2019, as requested. Each record is a METAR-style message giving timestamp, wind direction and speed, gusts, temperature, dewpoint, and visibility or rainfall fields. Recorded temperatures generally range from about 10 to 24 degrees Celsius, with a few readings of 24.0 degrees around 12 November. Many records from mid-October to late October show wind and gust fields with missing values, and some later records from 8 to 12 November show the wind fields as blank, indicating sensor or transmission gaps. The excerpt is structured as repeated sample blocks with large omitted sections, so it does not show every record in the period. No forecasts, warnings, briefs or decisions are included.
