I don't like it, it's another exercise in taking a functional website and 'modernising' it by making it look like a mobile app (i.e. the make it look attractive to kindergarten kids school of design).

For my own use cases it's made it more annoying to get to the 7 day Canberra forecast, made the local radar harder to see, and I'm not noticing a link to the written ACT region forecast which I will want to look at in winter.

Yeah, I liked having a bookmark of the nearest radar - I could immediately bring it up with one click and see what's happening. The new system with the pannable map, you just have a view of the whole country, and must zoom into where you actually are to see what's happening.

The weather predictions layout is.. fine, but the old one definitely felt more like you had all the info you needed right there where this one you have to click 7-Day Forecast and then expand Tomorrow to see more detail.
