Predicting Weather
We had perfect boating conditions here in brighton on saturday, which i missed out on as the Mrs assured me it was going to be heavy rain!

Looks like the next week is pretty poor, im hoping to get another chance this weekend.

Can anyone tell me what often indicates we will have calm seas (my sib doesnt like waves!). Light offshore winds?

The weather reports suggest 12-16mph W winds on saturday, Sunday 9-4mph N winds...

I've got a vast collection of stones, which I keep very local to you. I could let you have two for a fiver.

try this one
Hi Andrew
This last weekend was very odd. and the rain was very localised.
We went down to Salcombe (from Soton) and expected to get drenched. but had mainly superb sunshine, but very dark skies in other directions.

try this site www.xcweather.co.uk

most of theier data points are airfields and the like. so it more than just the bbc weather site

A very good site for Brighton Weather is
http://xcweather.co.uk/

The nearest data point is Shoreham and it seems to be pretty accurate for our bit of the coast.

Link this to the ITV Local Webcam of Brighton Pier and you have all you need without going to the coast to have a look.

Ugrib is a V good forcast model - just download a free program and then you have access to a wide range of weather data.
