Actually, looks like an internal issue at yahoo pipes, I'm looking at it

Typical - just when Cyclone Olga is approaching Cairns this morning and this would be most useful, BOM obviously do something to break the widget and it stops working.

All that was broken should now be fixed, I retooled the yahoo pipes - they should be faster, leaner, meaner and as a bonus they show more radar options now (rainfall for last x hours) where it's available

Hi - BOM definately changing things. I've checked everything out, and the following areas have currently got selection problems: Cairns (the one I want!!!), Gympie, Melbourne, Newcastle, Perth, Weipa, Wyndham and Wyndham WA. Dare I ask, have you thought of contacting BOM and seeing if they'll give you a standard interface? As a not-for-profit user republishing their publically available data to interested parties, there really shouldn't be an issue so long as you credit them somewhere?

There guys, I've got it back up and running - BOM changed their pages enough to break my pipes.

Accidently deleted my (working) channel (thanks Chumby) and when re-creating discovered this is still broken (can't select region)!! Please fix - was very very useful, especially in Tropical Queensland during the wet season

Thanks for letting me know guys - I'll have to hunt around and see if the source survived a hard disk crash (should have it somewhere) - failing that it's probably a feed issue, I'll fix it asap.

I second the previous comment, the area selection has been broken for a while now and I've been waiting patiently and silently for it to be fixed.

Just pointing out that the widget configuration is currently broken. The region selection dropdown doesn't populate with the list as it used to. Looking forward to seeing this great widget working properly again.

Nice work, thanks! As a keen boater is there any chance you'd consider creating a Bay Winds widget? (see http://www.earthsci.unimelb.edu.au/~awatkins/bay.html)

Awesome update. I was totally wrong as to where my city was on the regional map. Thanks!

There you go, I've updated it to show the observation data posts (later I might actually add the obvservation data it's self)

Sorry folks, broke it today adding more information to the data feed - I'll sort it out when I get home tonight - hopefully we'll have a version that supports observations soon.

Any chance of displaying cities/major town locations. The radar works really well, but it's hard to tell where the rain is relative to the city.

Love it love it love it. When I first got my Chumby from the US the Aus BOM rain radar was one of the widgets I longed for - thanks so much!

The description fails to mention that this is only for Australia. I'd like to see something like this for other areas as well.

Would be cool to see this work for United States!
