@TRethus @mdfowler100 @ipaddockapps Summer fuel used to wax up in our Chamberlains if parked up on a frosty night. Don't know how modern common rail engines with return fuel heating the tank would go.

@AgriFocused @llsnsw Carmen, Recently on ABC RN they interviewed a developer of a drone, bird flock counter that was faster and more accurate than humans. Should be good for livestock.https://t.co/gpWbowxCsA

VERY INCONVENIENT

Dear @BOM_au

At risk of sounding negative or abusive, what is this new website you have built? To us and hundreds if not thousands of others its simple - very inconvenient.

As a weather page like many others in Australia, and the world for that matter, we provide updates and data from multiple sources, with BoM being one of them. Our aim is to keep our dedicated followers up to date with and severe weather that may impact them, and the data from weather that has impacted them. Many people get their news and for that matter weather information from many sources, however social media has become increasingly popular in this day and age.

Below is a list that we have compiled along with some images, along with feedback we have received from others, even though we and others have repeatedly mentioned this via the feedback section of the website over the last year, it very sadly seems to have gone unheard, although you say this website was built on peoples feedback? seems strange.

1. In the Obs page for EVERY location, the extreme obs are not even displayed only the standard 30 min obs. For instance Mount Gellibrand had extreme winds of 100, 100 and 104km/h, where the datalogger obviously forced an out of cycle transmission to collect the extreme winds and display them at 11.47/49/55am WST today the 22nd of October. We found these obs on the old website, yet they are not displayed at all on the new website. Where are they? - very inconvenient
2. The forecast for anywhere cant be saved as a link on a phone tile - very inconvenient.
3.The expanded 7 day forecast for any location its just all words and no real titles, and so spread out you need to scroll down on every day to see the detailed forecast rather than having multiple on a page. Why do we need such a padded out display for this?- very inconvenient.
4. The Obs page is a nightmare to navigate on phone or PC. Why would you make it so you have to scroll across on every region? Its actually beyond us - incredibly inconvenient.
5. Why is the radar such a squashed up image/loop? Sure you can make it full screen but why wouldn't it just be on the main screen like that? Why cant you simply toggle the velocity radar on and off like basically every other radar app/website on the market? You should have taken your cues from apps/websites such as Radarscope, Weatherwatch, Weatherzone etc. - very inconvenient.
6. Rainfall and river heights - navigates you back to the old page - which is great, however what's the point of building a new page if you don't include everything? - very inconvenient.
7. So Meteye is still there? And the significant weather section is available on the new site, however you have to toggle between only fog or thunderstorms rather than have it on on a convenient page. - very inconvenient.
8. Why cant we simply click WA Obs, and you get the Obs? Instead its another 3-4 clicks navigating your way through a combination of Obs, forecasts etc before you can get any valuable data. - very inconvenient.

So in closing, almost everything we and others are experiencing with your website is just that, very inconvenient.

Fix it.
