Being a concreter all my life, I don't trust any weather forecast a 100%. 70 maybe 80% is the max. Poured on days they predicted a shower or two. I suppose they sort of got it right, there was one shower, but it lasted all flowering day. Seriously, how can they not see that on their radar. Not a big fan of them. but gotta trust somebody unfortunately

i'm kinda more interested in current temps etc then rain forecasts but i'm sure being a concreter you need to know when it's going to rain lol

bom is legitimately the best source.

but yeah, nowhere near 100% accurate.

I've had the same issues trying to keep an eye on the Melbourne weather for my trip next week. Wildly different forecasts.

I would rate them in this order...

BOM
Weatherzone
weather.com.au
Weather Underground
Weather Channel
AccuWeather

Pisses me off, last two times I've gone in Melbourne I ended up with the flu it was so cold and now I'm lobbing in there during a bloody heatwave.

this aint a heatwave yet Mr C wait until a week straight of 35+

You shouldn't have that many different readings since almost everyone just uses the BOM charts

I's kinda hard for websites to be accurate when Melbourne's capable of having all four seasons in a day. :o

Because Melbourne weather can be unpredictable. :P

But yeah, BOM is generally regarded as the best mate. :)
