About The Buster
Hot day? Hang on. Buster watches the NSW coast for the Southerly Buster, the sudden cool change that roars up from the south on a scorching afternoon, and hoots before it hits your street.
GET THE WASHING IN
Buster reads Bureau of Meteorology weather stations from Eden to Newcastle and spots the change as it starts moving up the coast. Then it hoots at you:
• When she's spotted heading your way
• 30 minutes out
• 5 minutes out
• When she arrives
Each alert counts down to your place, whether you set it by GPS or by suburb or postcode search.
WATCH HER COME
See the front roll up the coast on the live map, town by town, with a countdown to your place. When she hits, Buster throws a party: the temperature drop as it happens, gusts, and how many locals felt it.
TELL THE STREET
Flag the Buster when you feel it, rate how wild it is (from Bit of a breeze to Full Buster) and add a photo of you enjoying it. Your flags help track her for everyone further up the coast. Be first in your suburb and you'll get a gold ring on the map. On quiet days, post what the weather's doing and chat in the Gossip.
PICK YOUR HOOTER
Choose who does the hooting from six cheeky characters, each with their own voice and something to say about the day's weather. Pick your alert sound too, from a harbour foghorn to a stubby blow.
EVERY OTHER DAY
Check today's wind and temperature, the 7-day forecast with each day's chance of a Buster, UV and fire danger, or just forget Buster's there until it hoots.

Buster gives a heads-up based on Bureau of Meteorology data and what locals report. It can be early, late or wrong, so always follow official warnings.
