…meteorologist, … alarmed about the cuts to the balloon program. “They are vital to our model inputs, verification and updating of severe weather forecasts, especially for thunderstorms,” this person said. “The bureau has decided to cut upper-air observations for cost despite this stupid rebrand.” While a three-year rebranding program ate into company resources and time, resulting in a new logo and a desire to stop referring to the bureau as the BoM,…
…The Saturday Paper can reveal a plan by BoM leadership to extend the reduction in balloon launches to capital cities, to save money and move to a “launch on request” model after a morning release. This plan has been fiercely contested internally and may have been delayed after an offer from the aviation division of the bureau to fund the twice-daily launches from its budget until the end of the financial year…
Meanwhile, a new uniform…
...As part of the BoM rebranding effort – which management insists was just a “refresh” – certain public-facing employees were told they would have to wear a newly designed bureau uniform. When the polo shirts arrived, however, many women on staff realised the largest size of shirt was “smaller than would fit the average Australian woman”…

And further, on matters meteorological, should the aforesaid women on staff wearing these new uniforms happen to be caught out in the rain, say for instance taking observations, the lucky members of the public would no doubt be delighted to be invited to join the judging panel.
