NOTICE
The NBN Fixed Wireless transmission tower for Eton QLD located on Hannans Road was inundated by flooding on Friday morning. The Eton area has been without internet since this time and will remain without internet until the equipment can be replaced by NBNCo. As a result, weather data for both Eton QLD stations will remain offline until such time that NBNCo replaces the equipment. The computer processing required to generate the weather forecast for Eton, Marian, and Sarina is based at the Eton weather station, and therefore whilst the Marian and Sarina Beach weather stations are both online, I am unable to update the weather forecast for any Mackay region locations. The forecast currently appearing for Eton, Marian, and Sarina Beach is the last prediction that was updated on Friday. The forecast accuracy will reduce each day until I am able to update the forecast once the NBN is restored.
Daily processing is required to accurately update the rainfall totals for the Eton and Sarina Beach weather stations, and unfortunately this is also not occurring properly. Daily, monthly and yearly rainfall totals for these stations are currently inaccurate until the problem can be fixed once the NBN is restored.
