The weather affects us at many levels, whether
it be through scientific interest, appreciation of the beauty and variety of
weather, or the more mundane purpose of planning activities. Below I have
listed a few links which I have found helpful and interesting.
The Newsgroup uk.sci.weather encourages
discussion by both amateurs and professionals, and a FAQ, together with much
other useful background information, is available at the Booty
site.
The Dundee
Satellite Receiving Station provides
visible and infrared images of the UK and surrounding areas, with links to
many other sites.
Long range
weather forecasts, up to 12 days ahead, or plots of the extent of sea ice
surrounding the North
Pole or Antarctica
are available.
Ant Veal's UK Weather Centre
is a good starting point for UK weather as is Weather
Online.
FNMOC NWP
Weather Maps give excellent surface
pressure and rainfall projections for different parts of the world, together
with upper air forecasts. Some understanding of meteorology helpful here,
though the interface is fairly intuitive. The graphics and java animations are
an interesting feature.
The MRF Forecast now goes out to 15 days - excellent.
UK Snow forecast for 3 days.
10-Day Temperature Outlook for Europe gives a simpler view of what the weather may do.
Wetter Wetterzentrale gives neat pictures of where thunderstorms are occurring - useful if you value your modem!
Thank
you for visiting.
