The BBC Weather siteThis excellent site will provide almost everything that you need. It has forecasts for the whole country plus your own region and individual towns/cities. It has satellite images and lots of weather articles on hurricanes, El Nino, clouds, the climate of Europe, etc, etc.The U.K. Met OfficeThe Met Office weather site is not a particularly good source of information for students. A lot of the information has to be paid for and most of the same information is available free elsewhere. It is improving slowly and a few specific links are given below.Meteorology GuideText and attractive diagrams showing clouds, air masses and fronts, hurricanes, El Nino, the water cycle, etc. Useful for research homeworks and revision.Back to top of weather sectionBack to top of page |
