well aware
Knowing quite clearly
Well aware means fully conscious of something, with no room for ignorance or surprise: I'm well aware of the risks.
The phrase often carries a defensive or slightly irritated tone, pushing back against an assumption that the speaker might not know: Yes, I'm well aware that the deadline is tomorrow.
