Looks like the BOM website is getting ads.

On the one hand, it's mildly annoying but nothing an ad blocker can't get around.

On the other hand, money they get from advertisers is taxpayer dollars we don't need to pay to keep the BOM running.

www.bom.gov.au/advertising/

So when will we see a Seabreeze ad on the BOM? Kitepower perhaps?

Like England, we are regressing back to a 3rd world country.

Considering all the crap most "first world" countries are going through, Australia might be dodging a bullet.

This is the classy way to get ads - teach people how to block them if they choose.
Most browsers have ad blocking options. Links to ad blockers for common browsers can be found at:

Internet Explorer
Mozilla Firefox
Google Chrome
Opera

Our Seabreeze weather forecast will be much easier to digest if bed news (all red arrow for next week in QLD) are brought and presented by Weather Girls:



Even with such further improvements that:
the weaker the wind is the less clothed W.G. is
