WEATHER WEBSITES
If, like me, you enjoy Andrew's Weatherfront pages in each issue then you
may find the following websites useful.
These sites have a wealth of information about the weather and also provide
forecasts for many areas of the world as well as England.
The Meteorological Office website is a good first port of call:
http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/
The BBC site is possibly well known to most readers:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/
The skylink weather station site lets you display live information from many
weather stations in the UK. Click on User Settings and you can choose the weather
station your computer will receive data from, Woodbridge or Lakenheath for example:
http://skylinkweather.com/metar/metarmapindex.php
Weather Underground is a similar idea but based in the USA; it lets you choose
from weather stations all over the world and will display live data from those stations
as well as weather histories and forecasts. The link below is for the Wattisham airbase
station:
http://www.wunderground.com/global/stations/03590.html
If you are interested in instruments to record the weather yourself then the two
sites below specialise in selling these over the web and the first site is in Suffolk at
Sudbury:
Skyview: http://www.skyview.co.uk/mailorder/index.html
UK Weathershop: http://www.ukweathershop.co.uk/index.html
