Water and the Land Updates

Latest updates to the Water and the Land site

The Bureau has recently updated the home page for the Water and the Land webpage. The design was based on feedback indicating that users would like to monitor some of the pages more frequently.

Each of the panels will display the latest graphical output of that product. Clicking on each panel will open up the products webpage to get more information.

Benefits of the new design include:

• ability to check information for today - at a glance
• panels show the most useful products - as chosen by our users
• access to all products is maintained using the side navigation bar, plus an expandable selection below the panels.
• new page for National radar and satellite information

This means access to over 700 stations Australia-wide. Through a clickable map interface you can also view various rainfall scenarios for the coming months based on past climate information recorded at each site.

Frost potential forecast maps

Check out the chance of frost for tonight and tomorrow night at a number of Bureau weather stations. Minimum temperature thresholds of +4,+1, −2 and −5 °C are shown by coloured dots on a map. You can view more detail by moving your mouse pointer over the weather station dot of your choice, or you can select the table tab to view a table of all details for the region. This service uses new technology developed by Bureau scientists, which takes computer model data and adjusts it based upon how accurate the model’s recent forecasts have been. Always remember to check your local forecast and warnings.
