It can be done by you.

In the My details tab change your Suburb/City/Town locality and select update.

It will only update to a locality that is on the BOM site.

i am in Chinchilla and my closest BOM site is Miles (50km to the west) so i selected Miles and updated then changed my locality back to Chinchilla and updated it once again.

HTH

Cheers Kev

Hi, You can download a free weather program and widget that you can have on your desktop, updates every 10min / 30mins or 60min , just put in your postcode or town and it is all set.
You can also check wather anywhere as well.

www. weatherzone .com.au

Cheers Des.

For home weather I wouldn't. Use the http://www.bom.gov.au weather bureau site and check there. I find so many of the well meaning "helpful" sites are not kept up to date.

Sorry ExploOz.

Phil,

Exploroz gets their Weather info as a direct link to the BOM site hence me saying earlier that you need to determine the closest weather station.

So what do you say now?? hehehe

Thats better than I thought. I found the road status reports as basically useless when we recently went to the Cape.

Did you do any Road condition updates to update the EO Road Conditions??

I have been doing a heap of updates for SW QLD roads during the floods.

The more people who actually update the road conditions the better the system will be ;)


Cheers Kev

Of course I didn't. Not while on the trip as we don't have, and don't want, mobile or internet access when in the bush.

I sent a report in for whomever is responsible for maintaining the site to do so a day or two after we got home. They therefore most likely chose not to update according to my "late" report.
