wrong - BOM please...

Reviewed in Australia on 27 February 2019

get the weather from the BOM - stop being cheap - it’s a key feature of your product and the quality of the weather data you’re using is terrible.

Unreliable

Reviewed in Australia on 21 July 2019

The daily weather forecast for my area is frequently inaccurate in comparison with the daily forecasts from local media outlets. For Australian use, the data needs to come from the Australian Bureau of Meteorolgy (BOM). Until that happens, this skill provides a rough guide only.

Everything works fine... except

Reviewed in Australia on 27 August 2019

The weather data is inaccurate and useless. Please use BOM data source in Australia, as other providers don’t have a clue to Australian weather

Needs work but still worthwhile

Reviewed in Australia on 27 October 2018

As other reviewers have noted the data is not terribly accurate in Australia. I use it as a rough guide in the morning during the ‘flash briefing’. Hopefully a skill will be released by weatherzone or another provider who source their data from the Bureau of Meteorology. Also frustrating I can’t correct this skill’s pronounciation of my town. Alexa desperately needs a ‘That’s not how you say ____’ feature similar to Siri.

Totally wrong every day - USELESS

Reviewed in Australia on 21 June 2020

This skill is never even close to right. It’s way off for Australia. The most trusted data in the country is the Bureau Of Meteorology data. Why are we getting anything other than this in Australia? The built in skill is a ZERO star skill, it’s often wrong by 10 degrees, and never right for rain. Please stop using this accu weather data, it’s so inaccurate. Desperate to see the source change to B.O.M data. Zero stars, always wrong temperature for Australia.

Inaccurate

Reviewed in Australia on 15 May 2019

As many you others are saying - very inaccurate for regional Australia. For example I asked for flash briefing this morning and was told current temp in Bowral is 8 deg — actual (same time) from the govt website and my own weather station was zero deg .....

Good guide could be better

Reviewed in Australia on 28 July 2019

Good guide at least for what to wear, but agree with other reviews that its mot super accurate, could be improved if linked to BOM data.
