Weather watching

I thought I might ask you all what resources you use to check on the
weather, primarily of course to see if it's going to be cloudy. For
those of us not living in Selsey this is of course a regular concern.

Well, after several attempts at remembering the valid sites and
several kind people re-posting their favourite links, I put together
my own links list on my site (using information supplied by others).

Go to (that's an order) my site http://www.digitalsky.org.uk

In the menu on the left...
Expand the "Quick Links" node
Expand the "Astronomy" node
Expand the "Weather sites" node

It writes more complex than it is ;-)

They cover all of the UK including Selsey. I took a Selsey school
class of primary kids out to see the stars last evening. One of them
must have been jinxed because a beautiful clear sky clouded over.
That NEVER happens to me normally!

I receive 'live' weather pictures from the satellites. Have a glance at Short

Fool. How many times must I tell you? NEVER act with children or
animals.

It's always worth reading the uk.sci.weather FAQ site at
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/booty.w...nfo/uswfaq.htm

Full of useful information and links to other weather sites.

Well it didn't seem to do Arnie any harm and he's going to be the next

At home with the worst weather service in the world!

If they say "skorchio" it snows.
If the say "vedt" the sun beats down relentlessly.
If they say "still" 1/2 of Denmark loses its aerials!
They can't even tell me what it was like last week!
They defeat the 50-50 chance of being right every single day.
By being consistently and utterly wrong!
