Also, reminder that the places interface they were developing on the old site is awesome:
https://reg.bom.gov.au/places/
-- you can navigate to an arrangement of weather info for a place and just bookmark that URL.

They changed the old site to also allow HTTPS when it was updated.

reg.bom.gov.au has existed for a few years at least and always had HTTPS as far as I can remember. The original HTTP site was just retired altogether from what I can tell.
