About this analysis

The Guardian reports a forecast of severe supercell thunderstorms, giant hail and destructive winds for New South Wales and Queensland, with the Saturday rainfall and wind readings and a young man critically injured by lightning at Ettalong beach. Forecasts are attributed to a named Bureau of Meteorology meteorologist, and the uncertainty in the rainfall outlook is kept. Nothing in it misleads the reader.

What it gets right

  • “said Sarah Scully, senior meteorologist at the Bureau of Meteorology”

    The article ties its storm warnings to a named forecaster at the national weather agency rather than giving predictions in its own voice.

  • “The young man was in a critical but stable condition on Sunday morning, a hospital spokesperson said.”

    The article reports the human cost of the storm prominently and attributes the patient's condition to the hospital.

  • “rainfall totals associated with these coastal troughs are notoriously challenging to predict”

    The article keeps the forecaster's stated uncertainty, so the reader knows the rainfall figures are a moving estimate.
