Re: Weather
I was always lead to believe that all of these weather sites got their information from the BOM anyway, so I just used the BOM, cheers davo
It's an exhilarating feeling catching a fish
But it's an even better feeling releasing them

Re: Weather
They all draw their data from BOM I believe, however each site breaks it down a bit differently.
I just use willy weather, even if it's wrong a lot. That's the weather for u I guess. I went sky diving the other day and asked the professional skydivers and pilot what they used, as it's even more critical for them, and they used willy weather too. Apparently you can call a direct line to BOM if you are an aviation professional, skydiver, etc, but it was all in technical jargon and I couldn't make heads or tails of it, plus it's only 15 minute interval updates.

Re: Weather
Is it any better than their website as that has gone to crap and is useless for quick checks of the weather.BIG GAV wrote:Yeah I use bom a lot but willy has an app
