Find your location

If you want to zoom directly to your current location, press the Find me button. The find me function doesn't require a GPS capability and will operate in a number of browsers.

You must then agree to share your location in your browser or mobile device.

Note: If you are using a smart phone this will happen automatically when you first load the page if your GPS location services are turned on.

The resulting window that will appear will show the official Bureau of Meteorology forecast for the next 7-days (where available) and a Search marker (magenta) will be shown on the map. This Search marker can be switched on and off using the selection provided at the bottom of the screen.
