Bellingen Weather

Welcome to Bellingen's live weather and river information site

This site is designed for locals and visitors alike. It contains daily updated weather data from a weather station in Bellingen. The site also contains historical weather data as well as links to other useful pages that range from live local weather radar to current river heights.Weather data on this site is updated every half an hour during the day and through the night during severe weather events.

The weather station, computer and internet link are solar powered. The internet link is via satellite. This can mean some disruption to updates during heavy rain and after several sunless days when the batteries run low!

This site is sponsored by www.bellingen.com and www.kombuwholefoods.com.au.
