Default Australian Weather site do you use?

I have been monitoring a couple of weather sites online in
anticipation of my upcoming trip to the Gold Coast. And each one
gives different (and often contradictory!) current weather conditions.

Examples:

http://weather.ninemsn.com.au/weathe...ion=Gold+Coast
http://weather.news.com.au/coolangatta.htm

Just wondering if anyone has any advice as to websites they use - and
trust!

Thanks

The Bureau of Meteorology website has a four day forecast.
www.bom.gov.au

yes they do, but it is very basic in the output of information. I
think the others may complie their forcast from the govt information,
but not updated as often. For the most current forcast always go with
BOM.

While the Bureau of Meteorology (www.bom.gov.au) site forecasts
are highly regarded, some of the region names may leave you a
bit confused!

For weather forecasts in Victoria, check out:

http://www.travelvictoria.com.au/victoria/weather/

While it links to the BOM forecasts, at least you can see which
towns/cities the region covers before you click!

better still
download weatherxp.zip from
www.birdcagesoft.com.au
and set it up to look at any state you want and any auto
reading centre you want to check on in Australia.
its good.
