With a heavy heart we announce WeatherMate Tamworth will be ceasing our Facebook and YouTube channels as of February 16 at 12pm.
WeatherMate Tamworth started in Feb 2020 when drought and fire were a big issues in Tamworth and Australia; we wanted to report on possible rainfall and show the storms rolling in from the West. Initially with 2 cameras, East and West on Facebook Live, we expanded that to Four cameras to include the North and South for 360-degree views on YouTube:

It was a concept that we believed was needed at the time and in the coming years. Today, we have a weather forecast machine in our pockets. The weather is becoming increasingly unpredictable and the traffic on the live cameras do not justify the upkeep costs and energy required…
It has been an honour and a privilege to serve our community of Tamworth for the past four years providing 24x7 Live Weather Cams, weather information, highlights, and recap timelapse weather videos.
We desperately appreciate all the supporters and followers of the channels who boosted the momentum especially in the early days to secure a YouTube channel with dedicated internet address:

Supporting local community services is important. It takes WAY more time than you could imagine and every one of these channels needs your help! If you follow them, give them a thumbs up on their posts - if not for yourself, to encourage what they do to keep doing what they do best. It takes a click and keeps them on the map.
We will put up a couple more closing videos and posts so keep an eye out for those in the meantime and again keep reporting on weather till our closing date of February 16 at 12pm. The channels will remain active (without new posts) for as long as we can keep them alive so have a look at the previous videos of the timelapses – we think they are pretty cool.
Thank you again for being you.
