Index page:

- Typo: Temprature
No units given for pressure
Don't understand: Wind Speed(L), Gusts(R)
Direction has a speed unit: SSEKmh
- First data cells of tables could do with LH padding or a leading space
......................Imagine, what you will KNOW tomorrow !

Re: Complete Website REvamp + Assistance if REq
Hi Antonio,
Poor spelling, bad grammar and punctuation errors are killers for most visitors. If you have any text on your Web pages, then you should be reviewing them for spelling and grammatical errors.
New South Whales.... you mean New South Wales, also
Welcome To Ballina Nsw Weather......NSW not Nsw.
Is.... 'Data updated per minute!' supposed to be 'Data updated every minute!'... (I'm only guessing)
Also.... this sentence seems like a lot of waffle... 'The typical forecast day is from 9am to 9am the next day, so if it is after 9am and you wanted to see what last night's minimum temperature was you would have to look at yesterday's weather data'
'Thank you' is two words, not a single word.
Apart from those issues my only other thoughts are... your fonts are too large. Maybe use a smaller font size for the weather data and keep the same size for table headings.
Oh... and those arrows are huge. Re-size them with some html (<img src="fallinglarge.png" width="30" height="30">) or use something like MSpaint or Photoshop to re-size the image file before you upload it.
I hope I am not being overly critical...
Cheers

Re: Complete Website REvamp + Assistance if REq
On your home page you have used the wrong 'degree' symbol on the temperature, wind speeds should be km/h not Kmh. Personally I prefer the values and units to be spaced apart as it makes them more readable, thus 12.3 km/h rather than 12.3km/h.

Re: Complete Website REvamp + Assistance if REq
You have used 'º' instead of '°'.
You still have 'Km/h' rather than 'km/h' which is the recognised abbreviation.
