澳大利亚的天气网站大修耗资96万澳元, Australia's weather website overhaul, costing $96M and criticized for usability, promises better forecasts and transparency despite past failures.

气象局重新设计网站的费用高达9 600万美元,超过最初估计的410万美元,引起人们对可用性问题的批评,包括取消基于全球定位系统的搜索和有限地获取当地天气数据。 The Bureau of Meteorology’s website redesign, revealed to cost $96 million—far exceeding the initial $4.1 million estimate—has drawn criticism over usability issues, including the removal of GPS-based searches and limited access to localized weather data. 新上司Stuart Minchin博士确认了全部费用,包括与Accenture签订的7 800万美元合同,并承认过去的失败,如虚假海啸警报和失败的重塑。 New chief Dr. Stuart Minchin confirmed the full cost, including a $78 million contract with Accenture, and acknowledged past failures like a false tsunami alert and a failed rebrand. 他承诺提高透明度,改善公共沟通,在气候波动不断加剧的情况下谨慎使用新技术。 He pledged greater transparency, improved public communication, and careful use of new technologies amid rising climate volatility. 尽管有人批评该项目的开支和绩效,但Minchin注意到预测准确性有所改进,现在四天的温度预测与2015年两天预测的可靠性相当。 Despite criticism over the project’s expense and performance, Minchin noted improvements in forecast accuracy, with four-day temperature predictions now matching the reliability of two-day forecasts from 2015.
