The new BOM website is still drawing criticism, with 400,000 users turning to the old site, despite $1.15 million in recent updates.

https://reg.bom.gov.au/

Also, reminder that the places interface they were developing on the old site is awesome:
https://reg.bom.gov.au/places/
– you can navigate to an arrangement of weather info for a place and just bookmark that URL.

    The reg subdomain linked in the OP also supports HTTPS.

      It does now, but it didn’t used to.

      They changed the old site to also allow HTTPS when it was updated.

        reg.bom.gov.au has existed for a few years at least and always had HTTPS as far as I can remember. The original HTTP site was just retired altogether from what I can tell.
