Although, the nice thing about the new site is that the BoM website finally got around to enabling HTTPS support, instead of having a redirect that supported HTTPS telling you that the actual website didn't support HTTPS.

Doesn't surprise me, the old website is a much better user experience for me.

The new one is noticeably slower, hides the info I want to see behind extra clicks/scrolling, made the radar view worse, and doesn't improve the only thing I'd want to improve from the old site (making it easier to find less commonly used information such as river heights or past observations). In fact they made that part worse because now it bounces between the new design and remnants of the old one for anything bar the most commonly visited sections - even for basic stuff like a synoptic chart.

Old site was so much better new mess. Rain radar in new one is prime example how you should not build UI.

TIL there’s a new updated site. The old site is also easy to scrape weather info for any automations, so apart from human resistance to change in UI it could also be a resistance to updating code.

Holy shit!

You can still use the old site, excellent, thanks.

Also, please use the new site every so often, BoM are requesting feedback about the UI. Let them know how you feel about dropdown content.
