Not bad not bad... I can live with it, eventually..

However I echo the comments about it looking a bit bloated... I tried to find a setting for smaller text (yeah I I know I can mouse scroll or ctrl scroll the whole webpage but that makes everything smaller), as In the posts are essentially a strip occupying the middle thrrd and theres white space for Africa each side?

Also really pale. Like sickly; any chance of changing the background colours at will?


Hehe. Cool!

Can I ask what device you're using? i.e. 13" laptop, 29" desktop?

Regards "Pale" .. have you tried "Dark" mode? Tap the Profile at top right.

Just had a look into this, and adjusted various fonts/avatars/colours, and side-by-side comparison with old site, and the new site actually uses less space for the same text now. but with a bigger more readable font. 🎉

Soooo there's like White .. or Black... I guess I can live with that too, just with somuch screen space, all white, lying in bed at night or early morning it is sort of blinding (...cue 'blinded by the light...' )

It's better already, thanks.

Are you able to tone down the blue in the main bar somewhat? It feels like it's burning my retinas.

I like the radar image shortcut - was it on the old site? I've never noticed it before. BOM always needed 4 or 5 clicks to get there. Now it's impossible on the BOM.

JonE,

BOM 128km radar image, old style (the best!): https//reg.bom.gov.au/products/IDR023.loop.shtml

Hehe.. as much as a glaring sun off the water at 3pm? 😅

Rain Radar is new! Loving it.

Don't tell anyone! Before we know it this site becomes more popular than BOM and it's overloaded.
Great addition!

The new site is shaping up well! Appreciate the hard work 👍
Couple of idea's re the forecast
- option to switch between the normal 10 day BOM forecast (ACCESS) and the more accurate 36 hr forecast (ACCESS-C)
- can you add wind gust speed on the graphs?
