Weather links

Below are some weather sites we've found useful. It's useful when we're in an Internet cafe without our bookmarks. Most of the links have been lifted directly from Frank Singleton's site

• Meteo France GDMSS sea area forecast. We've found Meteo France to be the most consistently accurate forecast we use. The forecast gives a 48 hour outlook. Its updated 9.00 and 21.00 utc
• NOAA´s National Weather Service, specifically:
  • NOAA North Atlantic briefing
  • North Atlantic forecast
  • Offshore waters forecast for the southwest and tropical north Atlantic and Caribbean Sea
    
  • Fax charts for the NW Atlantic
  • US National Hurricane Center
• The US Navy has a great public weather site. The wealth of information can be a little overwelming, the main links I use are:
  • Atlantic surface wind predictions
  • Wind and significant wave height predictions
  • Tropical Atlantic wind speeds
  • Unclassified US Navy weather charts
• Weather online Trade Winds Zone 1
• UK Met office satellite imagery
