Welcome and thank you for visiting the Werribee Weather Station. This personal weather station (PWS) in Werribee, Australia, is approximately 32 km south-west of Melbourne, the capital of Victoria.

The name Werribee is an aboriginal name meaning backbone or spine. It is thought that this name was given as the shape of the Werribee River valley in the landscape looks like a backbone. The Werribee River seems to have provided a boundary between the territories of the Woiwurong aborigines to the north east and the Wothowurong to the south west, although other tribal groups visited the area. (source: Wikipedia)

Werribee Weather Station resumed operating in late January 2010. We are a volunteer Storm Spotter for the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (ABOM) and a member of the Australian Severe Weather Association.
