On the weekend I noticed this error in the BoM rain map –
I thought come Monday they will correct this to 9.27mm. Here we are Tuesday and no such luck, the error has gone into their daily rain numbers – presumably to be discovered in checks at a later date, weeks months away. It has also gone into 3rd party sites like AWN –
there could be others. It puzzles me that an error as gross as this lives on for 3 days – surely a little robot algorithm could flag outliers way less than this. I thought it was topical in view of my call for an audit of Perth dam catchments rain data.
Here is another today, Warwick, from Beverley in WA’s south-west.

East Beverley is a DAFWA station Tom –
I noticed the outlier around 6am and took a screenshot when it was at 97mm –
obviously the error bolted after that.
It is still in their data just now –
might email them after the weekend – it is a great network they have developed. DAFWA have no stations near Broome. I enjoy your photos Tom. Next best to being there.
