I just setup the Aussie weather forecast using BOM FTP as per the link above. I did nothing special there. It just works, and I set it up for a forecast area close by that works for me. Unfortunatly for me itās not the local BOM station at the airport a few kms away, but itās the regional centre almost 30 minutes away. Below is my bom_forecast code:
## BOM Forecast
- platform: bom_forecast
product_id: IDN11053
name: WG Forecast
forecast_days: 5
rest_of_today: True
friendly: false
friendly_state_format: '{min} to {max}, {summary}'
monitored_conditions:
- 'max'
- 'min'
- 'chance_of_rain'
- 'possible_rainfall'
- 'summary'
- 'detailed_summary'
This gives my a bunch of sensors starting with sensor.bom_wg_forecast_
for rain, detailed_summary, summary, max_temp_c, min_temp_c, and possible_rainfall, and does this for 5 days, 0-5. IDN11053 is for Wollongong.
My code for the weather card is as follows:

Yep. Exactly that on line 23. Ideally something with different language settings would be great for everyone, but that is beyond my skill level today.
