I feel sorry for those in the majority who live up the east coast. Accurate forecasts are a distinct bonus in the modern world.
Here in the south (Vic & Tas) things have never been better. I live my whole life at the behest of the weather gods (Farmer,outdoorsman & sailor) .
The short/medium range forecasts for the south are now very accurate, if you know how to distiguish weather from weather outcomes (temperature, mm of rain).
And if you don't own your own barometer (at home & on-board), and know how to use it - then don't complain.
Long live the cardigans in the bureau!!!
My barometer just told me it will be NE winds at 15knots shifting SE 15-25 knots later this evening and SE 20-30 knots tommorow!
Why must we spend our tax dollars on the BOM when barometers are so cheap!
