For storm watchers.

The Bureau of Meteorology site

http://www.bom.gov.au/

is one of the most frequented

Yes very good but Elders is better...when it comes to weather:

Exactly Bushie

So why doesn't the BOM give away the same information.
Not sponsored by Dell I guess :roll:

I suppose I am a bit spoilt as I get access to the RFS restricted area of the BOM site, although theres plenty of info on the standard site, just some of it is a bit hidden.

Some very welcome rain falling here at the moment.

Let it rain https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

On the odd occasion that I watch Landline on ABC TV I see maps like this:

Found readily on the Elders site.

I can't find this on the BOM site :?

Mahn,

Look under climate (in the menu bar at the top of the page) then Australian maps ans go from there.

eg http://www.bom.gov.au/cgi-bin/climate/rain...3month&area=aus (http://www.bom.gov.au/cgi-bin/climate/rainmaps.cgi?page=map&variable=deciles&period=3month&area=aus)

If you go to Hydrology you can get river levels and rainfall for river guages across the country handy if you are planning a trip.

Hi,
When living in NQ, the BOM site was on everyones faves list during cyclone season. Now that I am living in Gods toilet and at the risk of running foul of public opinion, bring on global warming I say!
I look forward to the day I can wear a cardigan 8O instead of thermals when riding to work.

When too much weather is never enough... just depends on the type.
