Country or Regional resources

This is something of a mixed bag. Some countries provide nice monthly summaries. Some provide news items about unusual events. Some do both, in different places. These are the ones I've found that have some form of regular or semi-regular climate reporting. Experience suggests about a quarter of these links will break within a year.

WMO Country Profile Database - The WMO provides some country level climatological information
Africa – WMO Region 1
- Regional Climate Centre fro WMO Region 1: Tunisia (covers North Africa)
- ACMAD home
- ACMAD climate bulletins (with archive)
- CPC African Desk
- Tanzania Annual State of the Climate
Asia - WMO Region 2
South America – WMO Region 3
North America – WMO Region 4
- USA – NCDC
Southwest Pacific – WMO Region 5
- Australian Bureau of Meteorology (note that BoM currently doesn't support https which is ridiculous, but the way it is. Links from github io automaticlly add an s to the http in the URL and this causes the link to fail. Just right click on the link, copy the link and paste it into the address bar.)

- Indonesia
- New Zealand
- Fiji (somewhat in arrears)
