Australia’s weather bureau faces backlash for confusing new website, despite defending it as improved after user testing.
The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) faced widespread criticism on October 22, 2025, after launching a new website users described as confusing and hard to navigate, particularly due to changes to the popular radar function.
The previous site, one of Australia’s most visited government platforms with over 2.6 billion annual visits, drew backlash amid severe weather events, including cyclonic winds and a heatwave.
The BOM defended the update, saying it was developed through community consultation and user testing over a year, including a beta phase.
Officials acknowledged a temporary drop in satisfaction, similar to past relaunches, and said improvements would follow user feedback.
Key features like forecasts, observations, and warnings remain accessible via the new site, the BOM Weather app, and social media.
