EVENING
Sunset at 19:33, closing a 13 h 22 m day — 2 minutes longer than yesterday; tonight cools to 21°.

Why today reads this way
Three sources, all of them named
Sky — the day itself
Today is a 13 h 22 m day, 2 minutes longer than yesterday — the light, not the weather, is what this page can promise exactly.
Land — your postcode, measured
Under today's sky sits a measured piece of ground: its mapped bushfire land, its twenty-year heat record and its fire history are the land half of every number on this page.
Household — the layer that is still yours to add
Two of the three sources are public. The third — who lives at your place, what the house is made of, what you hold — is what turns a postcode page into your page.
Make it your place, your household
The full Today page is free with an account. It reads your postcode, works in your household — the baby, the medical device, the go-bag by the door — and picks its headline from your signals, not a stranger's.
