DIY Weather Forecasting

Whilst kicking my heels in the hotel last week, due to there being too much snow, arriving far too quickly to venture out on the ski's, I completed several modules of the Day Skipper theory course I am currently working through.

One of these modules was Meteorology. A useful website was mentioned www.westwind.ch.

On the site there are weather charts; both actual observations and also predictions.

So, to get a feeling for the weather over the next few days I've been downloading analysis charts and predictions. UKMO 0-10 day predictions.

It is also possible to register, for free, with Dundee Satellite Receiving Station to look at the satellite images. I'm particularly liking the Channel 3 infra-red. http://www.sat.dundee.ac.uk/
