Better BOM

BetterBom is the fastest, cleanest way to check Australian weather - powered directly by the Bureau of Meteorology. No ads. No clutter. No complicated menus. Just the weather you need, right when you need it. WHAT YOU GET • Current Conditions - Temperature, feels-like, humidity, wind speed and direction, and rainfall since 9 am. All the numbers that actually matter. • 7-Day Forecast - Daily min/max, chance of rain, UV index, and a plain-English summary for every day of the week. • Hourly Forecast - Hour-by-hour temperature and rain probability so you can plan the walk, the BBQ, or the commute with confidence. • Live Rain Radar - Animated radar covering the whole of Australia with playback controls. See the storm coming before it hits. • Weather Warnings - Active BOM warnings for your area, colour-coded by severity. Cyclones, severe storms, bushfire risk, flood alerts - the moment the Bureau issues them. • Smart Location - Use your GPS for instant local weather, or search any Australian suburb, town, or postcode. Works from Perth to Cairns, Darwin to Hobart. • Works Offline - Recent forecasts and warnings are cached so you still have something useful when the signal drops in the bush. WHY BETTERBOM The Bureau of Meteorology runs one of the best public weather services in the world. Their data is world-class. Their official apps? Not so much. BetterBom is built by Australians who wanted a weather app that gets out of the way and just shows you the forecast - fast, readable, and gorgeous on every screen size. DATA SOURCE All weather data comes directly from the Bureau of Meteorology public API (api.weather.bom.gov.au). Data is Copyright Commonwealth of Australia, Bureau of Meteorology. PRIVACY Your location is used only to fetch the local forecast and never leaves your device except as an encrypted query to the BOM. We don't track you, we don't show ads, we don't sell anything. See our privacy policy for the short version and the full details. PERMISSIONS • Location (optional) - For "what's the weather here" without typing a postcode. You can always search manually instead. • Internet - To fetch forecasts, radar imagery, and warnings from the Bureau. • Network state - To detect when you're offline and serve cached data.
