Meanwhile the BOM app is far less accurate than Apple weather; often laughably so. They should focus their efforts on improving their data and modeling instead of superficial shit.

The data source for Apple Weather is the Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology.

Also, perhaps have another look at how to use a semicolon properly next time you want to badmouth highly-educated public servants.

I agree with WhatAmLenny. It might use the same data source but the way information is presented is a lot more usable. Case in point - when it’s going to rain, it gives you a pretty accurate “rain is going to start in x minutes” and a graph of how heavy it will be.
It’s not just about the raw data but how people consume it.

motherr might agree that apple weather is more usable too… however, “accurate” was the assertion being corrected and usable had nothing to do with it

Best rain app, which is more accurate than apple weather with rain alerts: www.rainparrot.com
They’re using machine learning on the BoM radar and doing a great job with it.
