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.

On the new site, the 7-day forecast has each day initially folded up, to see the data you need to click on the 'V'or 'Expand all'.

The indentations on the old site make it easier to differentiate the days too.
