Welcome to the Australian Severe Weather Forum. Please note, joining this forum is absolutely free. Your joining information is kept confidential and as secure as possible. The main aim is to enjoy discussion.
Our new procedure for joining has changed. You will not be able to join via the regular registration.The new secure procedure is for people to apply for membership via sending an email to
[email protected] In your application, please state the reason why you wish to join, your interest weatherwise, that you are fully aware of the terms and conditions of this website and are willing to participate. We reserve the right to accept or decline applications based on the information or insufficient information supplied herein, or based on past the history of behaviour on this or other discussion forums.

It is your responsibility to make the appropriate changes to the password once you have joined.
The reasoning for the latest membership application procedures are due to ample spam emails now occurring daily.
Once we have responded to your email requested above, we will manually register you and you will receive an email requiring activation.

Membership on this forum requires acceptance and an understanding of the agreement below. Please read it carefully - if you feel you don't agree to these terms and conditions, please discontinue your application. Applicants with an unpleasant past history may be refused membership.
Step 2: Await for an email from us for approval if successful. (Some applicants failing to meet the membership criteria may be required to supply further information).
The following is your registration for membership agreement.
