Bateleur1 Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 How many of you guys have been using the SA Weatherburo Website - www.weathersa.co.za? They are busy upgrading the site but the new website in my opinion is all fancy but pretty useless. I use to few the radar images and synoptic charts on a regular basis but it seems they will not have this information available on the new website. How do you guys find the new site?
KevinV Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 It's cr@p in my opinion. I much preferred the old one.
Bateleur1 Posted November 11, 2008 Author Posted November 11, 2008 I see guys complaining about it but no response on it.
Nix M2 Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 Agree, I used the original quite regularly, and now I have to reregister with the new site and it's not even user friendly. Change is not always for the better!
Marius Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 Yeah, also thought it was pretty crap but I've since figured out have to use it and find it quite nice now:-P
Loon Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 who cares... The weather peeps all fib anyway... Was only true when Riaan Craywagen was around
Bateleur1 Posted November 11, 2008 Author Posted November 11, 2008 Yeah' date=' also thought it was pretty crap but I've since figured out have to use it and find it quite nice now:-P[/quote'] The GUI is not that bad, but the Synoptic charts and the radar images are not available. I use the radar images on a regular basis. Nice early warning system.
Bateleur1 Posted November 11, 2008 Author Posted November 11, 2008 who cares... The weather peeps all fib anyway... Was only true when Riaan Craywagen was around But using their weather predictions and looking at the data yourself one can actually begin to make usefull predictions yourself. With the new site you are dependant on only their predictions and they can give you all the data of what has happened. Bit late for me though Bateleur12008-11-11 07:52:11
Marius Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 Ok, I've just checked it again now and they changed it from 0% chance of rain to 60% chance of rain since this morning... The 48hr and 7day forecast also don't correspond... it's sucks there for!<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Speedi Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 One word: Windguru Or is that two? Speedi2008-11-11 07:57:40
TheLegend Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 winduguru's forecast for the freestate is always very precise!
Dibles Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 I actually emailed the web developer of weathersa this morning and got a response almost immediately. Why not voice your opinions in writing.... I used to browse the site on my cell phone but now it uses up over 1 MB just loading the front page. They are apparently still working on the mobile version.
ChrisH Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 Cape Town weather is just as crap on the new site, so where is the benefit to me.
javadude Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 Think its crap. Doesn't work with Opera mini, so pretty useless for me.
