From rainbows and lightning to clouds and eclipses, all facets of Australia’s weather and celestial delights feature in the Bureau of Meteorology’s (BOM) Australian Weather Calendar for 2025.
Select photographs from professional and amateur photographers across the country feature in the latest edition of the annual calendar.
BOM National Community Information Manager Andrea Peace said the images were selected from an offering of over 500 entries in the organisation’s annual competition.
Ms Peace said the 2025 photos took viewers on a journey throughout the country’s many climate zones from Tasmania’s central highlands in the south to the Arafura Sea off the Northern Territory.
“Each month features a photo of a different weather phenomenon alongside a meteorological description written by the Bureau’s meteorologists,” she said.
“The photos offer a glimpse into the science behind how the weather works, and how the Bureau’s services meet the needs of the Australian community and industries.”
Ms Peace said several of the photos within the calendar reflected the dedication often needed to capture fleeting weather phenomena on camera like spectacular lightning strikes captured in split-second moments.
The 2025 Australian Weather Calendar can be ordered online at the BOM website.
