Venerable, meaning old. And in this case hopelessly out of date data. See, I googled "bom brisbane average temperatures". Top of the list is:
"Brisbane Regional Office - Bureau of Meteorology"
Hey! That's looks good, eh? Click.

Ah. A data table. Yep, with a June mean low of 10.9, we've had a cold star to winter OK! Colder than the mean by a couple of degrees. How do I get the annual averages?
Hang on a sec. This data is 21 years old.

Sorry, can't be bothered with the BOM any more. Every single piece of data needs to be checked so thoroughly from their sites it isn't worth it. The sites are difficult to navigate IMO, they are a hopeless organisation that we pay for, and yet they wield such influence on our country.
Having a lead page that is 21 years out of date is inexcusable.
