Access to the Milne Bay Province’s regional weather forecast is now restricted to paid subscribers of the *Post Courier*. The forecast, previously accessible without charge, is now gated behind multiple subscription tiers. These tiers range from single-day access to annual subscriptions, and include options with and without eBook access. The *Post Courier* published the notice regarding the change in access policy. Details on available subscription packages are listed alongside the forecast information. The move impacts residents and businesses in Milne Bay reliant on the *Post Courier* for localized weather updates. No reason for the change in policy was provided in the announcement.
