Papua New Guinea’s national weather service (PNGNWS) has released a 24-hour forecast for regional and provincial towns and cities, valid from 8:00 PM local time. However, access to the forecast is restricted behind a paywall. Individuals are required to purchase a subscription—ranging from one-day to annual options, with and without eBook access—to view the detailed weather information. The forecast was issued by PNGNWS and published by the Post Courier. The link provided directs users to a subscription purchasing page. Details of specific weather conditions are therefore unavailable without payment. This limited access raises questions about the public availability of crucial weather data in PNG.
