Weather is always moving but every day in Australia, it comes together at a 9.45am conference.

Having issued top temperatures for each of their states earlier in the morning, meteorologists around the country dial in for the Bureau of Meteorology's national conference to ensure every bureau starts the day reading from the same script.
In the Melbourne office where the conference is chaired, the eyes of around 50 forecasters are glued to the multi-screen display at the front of the room as the nation's head forecaster for the day begins, pointing out moving pressure systems and a large cold front near Perth. It's May, and even Western Australia isn't immune to some rain.
