the BOM must be seriously under staffed? i checked the weekly tropical climate note at 7 am thursday morning and it still had not been updated (it is normally updated every Tuesday) i checked it again an hour later and it had been updated, the funny thing about that is that the date on it had been backdated to "Tuesday" the 13th......but Tuesday was actually the 14th!

Irrefutable proof that the BoM cut and paste. This is the latest forecast for The Sunshine Coast issued at 4.10pm for today, Tuesday: Sunshine Coast Forecast for the rest of Tuesday A few showers, mainly during the morning. Light to moderate S to SE winds. Hmm, the morning eh? I must have missed that . . .

'The chance of showers' is BOM's new favourite phrase. It's been on the MNC forecast for the past three days, it's the forecast for tonight, and the next four days. R.I.P. "isolated showers"

Okay this is not a BoM thing but it is ABC (and I hope like hell nobody knows these people... apologies in advance). The newsreader last night said a light plane was missing. "There were two people on board including the pilot." Mission Control and I nearly choked on our Jambalaya and wild rice.

Haven't seen this before; from the latest NSW outlook:
As the winds turn easterly, moisture levels in eastern NSW will start to creep up

Nice sight there PV Weather. It should mean scattered showers, then becoming isolated or other way around.

Yikes, someone at BOM has hit the wrong button when doing April 5th's minimums in this afternoon's town forecast (issued at 4:15pm). Hopefully it gets picked up before Syd's evening news weather. The temp forecast for Thursday April 5th: Coffs Harbour 0 / 26 Port Macquarie 0 / 26 Sydney 1 / 25 Newcastle 1 / 24 Armidale -4 / 21 Broken Hill -1 / 32 Dubbo -2 / 28 Tamworth -2 / 29 Tweed Heads 2 / 27 Canberra -4 / 23 It's clearly a mistake, most minimums are 15-19 degrees colder than the night before. EDIT: BOM fixed the mistake at 4:40pm.

Just updated the warning and Still oblivious to their mistake lol unless there really are water sprouts crossing the coast  . If they are anything like the others in the sprout family they are nasty!! Most likely just a spell check error but still funny
