This is the best news for us weather nuts since 7mins radar scans. I have been wanting this for the past 5 years since I lived in Sydney for a summer and was using this site.

Fantastic!!!!! Well done and thank you.

Been looking at them for a week now, I got the feeling that the models runs seem to be outdated a little bit
