Bureau of Meteorology Website Renovation Fails — Jeremy Zakis — Zakis reported on the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BOM), which failed to accurately predict the La Niña weather cycle and subsequent rainfall patterns. A $96.5 million website renovation project resulted in a broken, non-intuitive digital platform that systematically downplayed rainfall severity in visual representations. The project's exorbitant cost, attributed partly to expensive consulting fees and extensive testing protocols, has prompted investigation by the Australian federal government regarding waste and contract oversight. 1913 BRISBANE
Australians are all pretty invested in the weather and the Bureau of Meteorology is our go-to source of forecasts and information. So, people noticed when the BOM changed its website and many, including farmers, complained that data sources they relied on were either missing or hard to find. A change in the rain radar has already been rolled back and now the bureau has revealed it cost close to a hundred million dollars to build the website and all the infrastructure behind it. Today, the ABC's lead rural reporter in Victoria, Justine Longmore, on the BOM website debacle.Featured: Justine Longmore, ABC lead rural reporter, Victoria
The Bureau of Meteorology's controversial website redesign carries a staggering 96 million dollar price tag. The cost blowout has drawn sharp criticism from both government ministers and the opposition. Federal Environment Minister Murray Watt has expressed deep concern over the massive expenditure, while Nationals Leader David Littleproud warns the public that the exorbitant cost will further erode trust in the agency. - मौसम पूर्वानुमान गर्ने अस्ट्रेलियाको प्रमुख संस्था ब्युरो अफ मिटियोरोलजीको वेबसाइट पुन: डिजाइनमा निकै धेरै पैसा खर्च भएको भन्दै विवादमा परेको छ। सुरुमा ४१ लाख डलर जति खर्च हुने अनुमान गरिएको वेबसाइटमा नौ करोड ६० लाख अस्ट्रेलियन डलर खर्च भएपछि सरकार र विपक्षीबाट आलोचना आएको हो। एक रिपोर्ट।
The redesign of the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) website costs a staggering 96 million dollars. That is around 20 times as much as originally estimated. And it is controversial. It has not only prompted sharp criticism from government ministers, but also from the opposition. - Die Neugestaltung der Webseite des Bureau of Meteorology (BOM), kostet sage und schreibe 96 Millionen Dollar. Das ist rund 20 Mal so viel als ursprünglich veranschlagt. Und sie ist umstritten. Das hat nicht nur scharfe Kritik von Regierungsministern hervorgerufen, sondern auch von der Opposition.

Bureau of Meteorology Removes 'Black' Warning Scale Amid Severe Storms. Jeremy Zakis discusses how the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) launched a confusing new website during one of the Eastern Coast's worst storm seasons. They controversially removed the color "black" from the weather radar scale, which previously denoted the most severe weather, including heavy hail and flooding. When a major Queensland storm hit with only "red" warnings, people were unprepared, resulting in extensive property damage. Meanwhile, Queensland is facing highly unstable conditions, including rare reported water spouts and a tornado watch along the coastline.

Are celebrities oversharing about their splits? Nicole Kidman's keeping it classic - sending us subliminal messages through clothes (see: revenge dress). Lily Allen is being extremely 2025 by putting her Notes-app confessions to music. But why are we being kept so clearly in the loop of some very private business? Welcome to a slightly unhinged conspiracy theory about the strategic advantage of spilling divorce tea and yes, it involves real estate. Also, is cutting out friendships the ultimate life hack? Some of the trad wives certainly think so, saying they've given birth to and married the only friends they need. And there are some Australian workplaces having some particularly awkward meetings today - the schools that set the wrong subject for the HSC exam, and... the BOM. What colour is drizzle, anyway?

Meteorology Bureau Abandons Cyclone Forecasts Amidst Extreme Australian Weather Jeremy Zakis Jeremy Zakis reports that the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) has stopped issuing cyclone forecasts for Western Australia for the first time in 50 years. The BOM admitted its models are failing due to unexpected ocean temperatures and upper atmosphere warming, resulting in unpredictable forecasts. New South Wales has experienced highly erratic weather, including the "hottest October ever" and three seasons—winter's end, spring, and the start of summer—in just two days. The warm temperatures are driving residents to the beaches and pools. Although recent rain has provided abundant food for wildlife, Jeremy warns that the currently lush grass will quickly become tinder dry, creating a severe bushfire hazard if lightning storms arrive before more rain. 1952 QUEENSLAND

#OzWatch: 1919: Sydney 1/4 - Unprecedented Australian Winter Weather Australia is experiencing highly unusual and severe winter weather, defying Bureau of Meteorology predictions for a mild end to the season. New South Wales has seen snow at exceptionally low altitudes (300-400 feet, near sea level), while tropical Queensland faced cold, windy, and wet conditions. The southern continent endured blustery conditions and significant wind damage, with Victoria experiencing sustained winds of 60-65 mph, much stronger than usual. Most remarkably, two "fast-moving tornadoes" struck Adelaide's northern suburbs, a city whose stable, dry climate typically prevents such formations. The Bureau attributes this to a combination of La Niña-like conditions (warmer Pacific, more moisture), the Indian Ocean Dipole(cooler Indian Ocean), and a sudden Antarctic blast that trapped cold air over the continent, creating intense weather. Meteorologists are reportedly "scratching their heads" about the system, anticipating "wild, freaky weather" and an extended winter.1/4 - Unprecedented Australian Winter Weather Australia is experiencing highly unusual and severe winter weather, defying Bureau of Meteorology predictions for a mild end to the season.

The Bureau of Meteorology has provided the latest update on the conditions after ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred. BOM Senior Meterologist, Jonathan How, told Gary Hardgrave on 4BC Drive, "We are seeing rain ease across Brisbane and we've just issued the latest severe weather warning." "Brisbane has now been removed from that, so no longer expecting heavy rainfall across Brisbane." "But we still have that warning current for the Lockyer Valley and for places north of Caboolture, but the good news is that rain is easing across the metro area," Mr How continued.

Australia's next tropical cyclone is getting a name change. Cyclone Zeila's dissipation has brought the Australian Bureau of Meteorology to the end of an alphabetical list, alternating by gender. The next cyclone was due to be named Anthony, but since Anthony Albanese is the current Prime Minister, the decision was made to jump to the next a-initial on the list. Australian Correspondent Donna Demaio told Andrew Dickens that when the name matches that of a prominent person, they reorder the name to avoid confusion. She says the next name will be Alfred.

The Bureau of Meteorology determines a lot: from whether we bring an umbrella to work, to how much warning we get of a natural disaster – all the way to what we know about climate change. But now, serious questions are being raised about the bureau's management – and it's emerged that senior executives deliberately misled a federal court. So, why did they lie? Today, senior reporter for The Saturday Paper Rick Morton on troubles at the BoM, and how internal struggles are getting in the way of the weather forecast.

A new report of climate modelling by the Bureau of Meteorology says La Niña continues in the tropical Pacific however it's slowly weakening. The bureau's Climate Driver update says it expects an easing in trade wind strength and increased cloudiness near the dateline, potentially weakening some indicators of La Niña. Rayane Tamer from SBS News speaks to Dr Andrew King who is a Climate Scientist from the University of Melbourne about Australia experiencing three years of La Niña and what to expect in 2023.
Last Tuesday, while torrential rains brought floods that cut off whole towns in Victoria, Australia's weather forecasting agency made a strange announcement. The Bureau of Meteorology called on all media to change the name they had used to refer to it: the BoM. Instead it wanted to be called The Bureau. What seemed like an odd branding announcement at first, has led to a series of revelations about working conditions for Australia's official weather forecasters.
