Just thought I'd share a link to the Bureau of Meterology- Operational Consensus Forecasts (OCF). These are experimental and are meant to reflect an aggregate of all available models (GFS, EC, ACCESS). I quite often find this is more accurate than the official forecast.

No worries. You might notice that where available, a sunshine forecast is given (e.g. for Sydney Airport which is the only weather station in the Sydney Metro that measures sunshine hours). I find this to be a bit hit and miss in practice, but a nice feature anyway. The rain forecasts are also a bit unreliable, but in a country like Australia where rainfall is erratic and very localised at times, it's certainly tough on forecasters.
Interesting site. Notice the pathetic sub-mild week autumnal week coming up in Melbourne and Sydney smack bang in the middle of the "hottest" time of the year
One model suggesting a bit of warmth here in 10 bloody days time (no doubt to be replaced by a cold front in the next update), while GFS has nothing but southerlies and cold fronts until the freaking 20th...... ofcourse that *won't* change

Click the map for the desired region, e.g. Sydney East is area 66.
I agree, the OCF forecasts are usually pretty good. Lots of other useful links on that site as well.
