Hi,

It looks to me like the BOM URL you are accessing ( http://www.bom.gov.au/cgi-bin/wrap_fwo.pl?IDS10034.txt) does not contain the data you are expecting. Presumably the BOM have modified the output format slightly, if the script was working in the past.

Extracted from the URL above:

Precis        Fine. Cloud increasing.
City:         Max 13
Elizabeth:    Max 13
Mount Barker: Max 11
Noarlunga:    Max 13

For example, you are searching for /Adelaite City\s+.../ but the appropriate search from the result looks to be something like /City:\s+Max (\d+)/. Likewise, you are searching for /Noarlunga\s+.../ but the relevant string would be something like /Noaralunga:\s+Max (\d+)/.

I trust that from the above, you can work out how to modify your script appropriately?
