Description:

Australians are all pretty invested in the weather and the Bureau of Meteorology is our go-to source of forecasts and information. 

So, people noticed when the BOM changed its website and many, including farmers, complained that data sources they relied on were either missing or hard to find. 

A change in the rain radar has already been rolled back and now the bureau has revealed it cost close to a hundred million dollars to build the website and all the infrastructure behind it. 

Today, the ABC’s lead rural reporter in Victoria, Justine Longmore, on the BOM website debacle.
