Utility to scrape radars

(not a bug!)

Just an FYI - I wrote a little Python thing that scrapes the BOM radar info page and outputs a list or radars, in both Python and JS formats.

Might be useful for keeping your list of radars up to date.

It lives here: https://github.com/bossanova808/weather.ozweather/blob/main/resources/lib/bom/bom_radar_scrape_latest.py

And here's some sample JS output:

const bomRadarLocations = [
