Woke at 5am this morning (just over half an hour ago) drenched in sweat.

Originally budgeted for 4 million AUD (~2M EUR), Australia's new botched #BureauOfMeteorology site ballooned into 100M AUD (~50M EUR).
I'd love to hear the story behind what must be one of the most expensive #Drupal sites ever.
As do our Aussie tax paying downunderlings.
Update 1:
80% of the budget went to #Accenture. I am Jack's shocked face.Update 2:
Most if was used to "secure their systems" following a cyber attack. So why is it counted towards the build cost? -
AUS$96 million dollars of our money spent on a #weather website that most find not as good as the previous one.
96 million dollars. For a website upgrade.

Cost of BoM’s website revamp revealed after deluge of public criticism
Public-facing site cost about $86m as the Bureau of Meteorology apologises for the handling of the redesign launch
This is absolutely criminal

The new #BureauOfMeteorology #website is “not meeting many users’ expectations”, environment minister Murray Watt admits, saying he’d hauled in the BoM’s chief to make some changes.
A refresh of the #weather website has many users annoyed, with a large number of complaints about its accessibility and usefulness. Watt said he’d met with the acting chief executive, Peter Stone, “to discuss the public’s concerns with its updated website”. #auspol #BOM

The Australian Bureau of Meteorology public FTP server, part 0: overview
Here at Ice Moon Prison, we’ve been talking about the weather for years. We’ve always used the free data supplied by the Bureau of Meteorology. This is the first in a series of posts outlining what data can be found on the BOM’s FTP server.
The Bureau of Meteorology is an Australian federal government agency, supplying Australian individuals and organizations with observations, forecasts, and warnings. Mostly for a fee, which runs to 4 to 5 figures depending on the data being used, but a subset of the data can be had for free, with strings attached.
The data is on the server ftp.bom.gov.au and can be accessed over the venerable anonymous File Transfer Protocol. In years past, that link would open in your browser, but as anonymous FTP gave way to HTTP, browser support for FTP was dropped, so you may have to experiment with other options to access the files.
The BOM’s own documentation on the anonymous FTP data is sparse and inconsistent. You could spend fruitless hours exploring the uncharted, cryptic directories. I certainly did. So I’ve decided to write these blog posts and save you time getting productive.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- An FTP client. Windows and MacOS have clients built into their file browser (File Explorer and Finder, respectively). You can also use a dedicated client like FileZilla. If you’re interested in automating or scripting, you’re almost certainly going to want to use curl.
- A shapefile viewer. This is optional, but a map overlay display tool like QGIS will help you to visualize which BOM products apply to a particular part of Australia. If you skip this, you can interactively explore the BOM’s website to find which products have the information you need.
- An XML processor. Most of the BOM’s textual products come in valid XML, and if you want to manipulate these, you’d best come to terms with a processor like Saxon-HE or libxml2. XSLT, XPath, and to a lesser extent SAX parsing, will make this a breeze. Please don’t hurt yourself by trying to parse XML with regular expressions.
Future posts in this series will tentatively cover the following topics:
- Finding yourself: identifiers, codes such as AMOC and AAC, shapefiles and the spatial folder.
- Know your product: how the BOM packages things, what a product is, and the radar folder.
- Predicting the future: forecasts, parsing XML, finding the right product, and the fwo folder.
- What did you see?: observations and synoptic charts.
- Proceed with care: finding and processing warnings.

Good news indeed: that the Aussie Bureau of Meteorology (#BoM) have a new, HTTPS, mobile-friendly website... even though beta 🎉looking good.
Thanks for sharing the good news 🙂

🌡️🥵 A spring #heatwave across large parts of #Australia's southeast is set to intensify with temperatures 16C above the September average. The #BureauOfMeteorology said it expected several early spring records were likely to be broken over the next few days, calling the heat "very uncommon for September".

The one type of website missing on the #I2P network is a #weather website.
In #Australia, the #BOM is served by a #techGiant that is in the business of collecting people's data. They aggressively block people who use #TorBrowser.
Can I2P come to the rescue?

The #BureauOfMeteorology (BoM) site that may Aussies use for #weatherForecasting, blocks #Tor by using the ***foreign*** corporation, #Akamai.
If any good lawyers are out there can we sue the BoM as a fediverse group? *tongue firmly in cheek
Seriously though this is an issue. Govt should *not* be extorting peoples' data to the #USA while they check the weather. While should they know the days we may want to do something, or #travel etc?

Is it just me, or is this new BOM way of explaining the likelihood of rain not as clear as it could be?
How is it both a 50% and 75% chance of no rain? ☔️ #weather #Melbourne #BureauOfMeteorology
