When the BOM changed their webpage in the 3rd week of October 2025, it appears that getting simple information about the weather has disappeared. Unfortunately the new BOM internet page is quite a mess - its nearly impossible to find more than a two word forecast and perhaps the temperature. Important details such as an explantion of the synoptic situation (let alone a synoptic chart) has been buried or lost. Many folk, expecially farmers are very angry.
I wrote this small web page many years ago because I could not easily read the Bureau of Meteorology's web pages on my iPhone. I could have downloaded an app that places summary data on the screen, but I wanted to see, in particular the "notes" pages which explain succinctly the "why" of the current weather. Also when the BOM changed its website couple of years ago, it was nearly impossible to find these "notes" pages - now called state forecasts. I also could not find the rain summaries for the past 24 hours or week - they are somewhat buried. So this site really contains links to information I use every day which is displayed in simple text format, with the rainfall in a searchable table.
