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.

Although, the nice thing about the new site is that the BoM website finally got around to enabling HTTPS support, instead of having a redirect that supported HTTPS telling you that the actual website didn’t support HTTPS.
I’ll consider it modern when it supports HTTP/2 (which I think it does now) and IPv6.
I have no idea how you can build a brand new website on IPv4 in ${CURRENT_YEAR}.
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.
