BOM orders an inquiry after tumultuous 12 months, but will it restore trust?
Farmers say the BOM has lost the trust of those who need weather information for critical and expensive business decisions such as spraying, fertilising, planting and harvesting crops.
The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) has announced an independent review to determine whether the weather forecaster is meeting the needs of Australians after a tumultuous year. Farmers are skeptical the review will restore their trust in the agency, which supplies critical weather information for their businesses. The review, led by former Murray-Darling Basin Authority chief executive Phillip Glyde, will be completed by March 31, 2027.
