Don't get caught in the rain! Weather sourced from The Bureau of Meteorology

Detailed Australian weather, in one little package

Sun icon TheBom Weather Widget contains the most detailed information available about the weather in your city. The features include: Current observations such as current temperature (of course!), the "apparent temperature" (also known as Steadman Apparent Temperature), relative humidity, wind direction, air pressure and amount of rain for the day so far. Detailed forecast information for the current and next day. Precis forecast for next 5-7 days (depending on city). Quick links to the Bureau's current observations, forecast and radar pages for your chosen city. Customise the city and temperature settings.
