I'm not sure why this is used in Australia, it might be an old Naval thing from the Colonial days.
Interestingly, I found this on Google:
Quote:9am (EST) is the midnight greenwich mean time (UTC), which was why it was selected originally as the same time of measurement world-wide. All the large met balloons with radiosondes go up world-wide at that time also for the sake of cohesion of upper level observations.(Having worked at the Bureau for many years, that is what I was taught at training school BOM many years ago.)

This might be a problem, because the WeatherDuino Pro2 resets Rain Today counter at midnight. At best, you see one thing on the display and another on the webpages, but could be worse, I did not anticipate this possibility.
I can always change the Station to use midnight to midnight.
