This website has always charged for the app, but not the web page. Now they are charging for that too. It is only possible to expand the view for the current day. Everything else is padlocked.

Today I learnt you could expand the days to see a more granular forecast.
Sunday looks nice.
Go to bed at 00:02, so then you have a few minutes to check “tomorrow’s” weather?

I gave up on that website when they suggested it would be sunny at 7pm in December.

It was particularly accurate for GM summits.

That’s a bugger - I used that the most, and thought by far it was the most accurate. Nothings free these days. Will have to splash out

Recently, I’ve found it to be way off. Wind speed and cloud cover forecasts have been inaccurate on several occasions.
Fraser,
That may be due to an increased variability in the weather these days. Our BOM has the biggest computer in the Southern Hemisphere and a team of top notch forecasters but still can’t tell me if it will really rain tomorrow or not. There is a probability, a likely amount and the time expected. Mostly all 3 parameters are wrong.
Forecasts were imo better a decade ago. The reason I suggest is due to climate warming and a consequence increase in unpredictability in forecasts.
Last year I planned an activation on a summit near the end of the bonus period. The BOM forecast rain early in the morning. I shrugged and set out. There was a foot of fresh snow to greet me and a locked gate.
Makes life interesting.

No, never needed to. That seems to be what has changed. I’ve downloaded the app and registered an account. I can now expand the next few days on the app. Despite being logged into the website version, the days ahead are still locked with the green padlock, so, they are forcing me to use the App.
The 12 day mountain forecast is not worth paying for, especially in this country!
