For rainfall I use nearby Lytton, which has a longer time frame, but if I am here for another 10 years or so my rainfalls should have settled down enough to use them as well.


Thanks for confirming. I am trying to work out what I can compare my averages against. My location couldn't get more different from the airport or the city. I guess I am similar to Beerburrum, however that is over 30km away and I have hills behind me.
I am only a couple of Km from Pabloako's OceanView weather station, whoever that is nearly 300m higher than I am, so that doesn't work either.


My mate lives at Narangba and he has a home weather station. So I got him to compare with Caboolture and it was pretty close. But you have to a bit of jumping around the get everything close when it comes to rain. For some reason BoM have dropped the obs for Caboolture but WZ still are displaying them .

To check rainfall http://www.bom.gov.au/cg...rap_fwo.pl?IDQ60360.html and go to the Pine/Caboolture list 2nd last on the page, it is Oakey Flat Road sation. It is about the best way to Triangulate your weather. The Narangba on WZ is the Caboolture AWS.

Plus the Beta BoM for Caboolture http://www.bom.gov.au/places/qld/caboolture
Better still, I can now see what BoM are doing I just checked at there is a difference slight difference. Narangba has its own Beta page now.
http://www.bom.gov.au/places/qld/narangba/. Edit. This is where it is wrong. Just checked and they are using Redcliffe. That is 14 KM away and has Seabreezes etc. I am afraid that is not going to be right. I would use Caboolture
This was recently released. The beta pages. I was going to put the one up for Brisbane but just discovering how many places are available.
