Oh cool! I love that the concept behind @mlip.bsky.social, Steefan Contractor (are they here?) and @jamesgoldie.dev's isithotrightnow.com is going global.
It's such a brilliant idea and so well executed.

Interesting new feature of windy: hyperlocal city temperature heatmaps: www.windy.com/heatmaps/syd...
I haven't seen this before, but temperatures estimates seem reasonable compared with obs: www.bom.gov.au/nsw/observat...

I was frustrated a few years ago when BoM closed down the La Trobe St station after 106 years of continuous operation

The rules set by the World Meteorological Org (WMO) mean they try to avoid any urban effects in observations. But that's where a lot of us live!

Yep, we would love to get more "local" but are limited to locations with a good long term record (we use ACORN-SAT from BoM: www.bom.gov.au/climate/data...). But if you have any suggestions for additional locations, send us a message and we can include them if they are in ACORN-SAT.

To be fair, there's a few places that are bloody hot today, like Geraldton topping out at 47.7 °C.
