billy the squid

Just thought I would post up some weather links to get the ball rolling and all that

Net-Weather UK

Quite a good site with charts radar data lightning detector charts (spherics) satelite and what have ya

http://www.net-weather.co.uk

BBC Weather

http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather

Easy to get around site for internetional weather the Weather Underground they also have a databace of every hurricane since the latter half of the 19th century

http://www.wunderground.com

This site is slightly better for keeping track of western pacific typhoons and regularly posts up tropical warnings from various weather organizations throughout the world

http://www.weathermatrix.net

well anyone with more links

Thanks fc,
I use weather underground a lot myself it's a good site.
The BBC site also has a handy if rather small radar image updated every hour or so.

I'll sticky this and if anybody has any further hand links, they can post them.

www.wmo.ch

World Meteorological Organisation.

Their headquarters is awful cool. It looks like a ship.

www.ecmwf.int

European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts

http://www.scn.org/~bm733/inFAQ.htm

Good little site about Numerical Weather Prediction

Sleipnir

good for satellite imagery

Eumetsat

DapperGent

www.worldweather.org

Best site I've seen for Worldwide weather forecasts. It uses actual forecasts from the respective country's Meteorological Services rather than direct model output which can be shaky enough.

unkel

I use

www.accuweather.com

Find them pretty good for 15 day forecast for anywhere in the world. Today's weather on an hourly basis.

Will have a look at the other links though

Don't believe anything past 7 days and take anything after three with a pinch of salt. Seriously.

I've a new lightning detector set up at http://www.irishwan.org/lightning/screenshot.png . I'm still getting used to the software, and am looking for a better map to use, and have to mount the antenna up higher to get it away from noise in the house, but it seems to be working fairly well. Have it zoomed in to a 400KM radius, though it can go to 600KM - was seeing some strikes in the bay of biscay earlier on!

Thats excelent Brendan, what was involved in setting that up?

It will be a handy early warning for that mast you are building down there

Brendan, there seems to be a right peppering on your map now, down to the south and in the English channel.
Whats the difference between the red, yellow and orange dots?

The stormtracker uses some readily available kit called the Boltek Stormtracker - it and the software I'm using are available from www.meteorologica.co.uk.

The yellow squares represent the most recent lightning strikes. They turn orange and then red as the strikes get older till they eventually disappear after 2 hrs.

National roads authority current weather reports :
This is a clickable map which gives up to date weather reports from major roads throughout the country, including road surface temperature, air temperature, humidity, road conditions, wind direction and speed etc.

Spot on with Metcheck.com Dave Greta for the long term forecasts for us Cyclists!

I also like weather.com when I'm in NY as its so easy very accurate becuase we're so close to the base station at Central Park. Simply put in the Zip Code and your away

Have just come across this forum and thought that some of you may be interested in that I've recently put my AWS on-line, and is now updating (most of the time) at 10 minute intervals.
You can find it at
www.wicklowweather.com
I've recently changed hosts and for the time being a redirect is operating which should work with most broswers, if not click on link

Hope it is of interest.

Of course I did leave out a vital bit of info and that is location. Obviously in Co. Wicklow, near the village of Ashford to be exact, not far from Wicklow Town on the eastern side of the county.

mike65

Wow! I'm impressed...:)

I doubt the accuracy, but how about Bill Giles 30 day weather forecast..
http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/features/30day.shtml

Bill Giles has run off to a commercial concern so his monthly spot has been taken over by the BBC team.

The site below has quite detailed forecasts for individual towns in Ireland - it seems to be reasonably accurate. Their data is collected from NWS GFS AVN Forecast - whatever that means confused:

Excellent weather radar from the UK Met Office. It has colour coded echoes and is updated hourly. Here

Nice. Some interesting stats in there you don't normally find all in one spot. First time I've seen dewpoints detailed since I lived in the US. Keep up the good work...
