Hey everyone,
I spent this afternoon trying to compile an up to date list of as many useful weather links as i could, taking links from WolfIRE's thread, Billy the Squid's original thread and any other bookmarks i could find hiding away on my laptop. I updated/removed dead links and tried to combine and list everything into relevant sections. Many thanks to all the users that have contributed the links over the years and if you have any more to add or spot a link that isn't working properly just post here or let me know by pm and i'll fix it up!
