  Useful weather data

Most important, who is your audience?

A meteorologist has access to TONS of data directly from their
respective national weather services. We like looking at computer
models as a basis for forecasting. Satellite, radar, and weather
ballon data (usually formatted into a skew-t plot) are also very
important.

The general population will probably look at the above information and
not know which way is up! For them, a graphical version of the 3-,
5-, 7-, or even 14- day forecast, along with postings on watches,
warnings, advisories, and radar and satellite shots would be more
beneficial.

A climatologist won't care about the day-to-day and prefers monthly
and yearly statistics.

Found a great website (bit like a weather links directory) with links to
weather forecasts for individual UK towns and cities.

http://www.weather-forecast.me.uk

Does anyone know any better websites to look up? Thanks for any suggestions
;)

16th to 23rd August: 21:16.

THere is already a Low over the UK. Soon it will be joined by another
from the USA or Canada. THat obne has already been assosciated with
some Aleutian quakes when it left the Appalachians/ XCarolinas or
wherever.

When it joins up with the stuff over here there will be some rotation
and then it will go to the Baltic.

If it does, then the North Atlantic will go negative again as it did
over the last day or so. The present low pressure some sixty
something North, thirty degrees West is low; 978 MB is a change in the
weather.

Everything else in the N Atlantic is still "negative".

Why is the 540 isopleth significant on a 1000-500 thickness chart?

  Weatherlink vs. Virtual Weather Station?

I have a Davis Vantage Pro2 with Weatherlink 5.7.1 posting to a web
site http://www.greenport.ws/weather/Current_Vantage_Pro.htm.
Operating system Windows XP

The Weatherlink software crashes frequently. I inquired with Davis as
to whether a software upgrade would help with the crashes and was told
it probably would not. This reply makes me think Davis knows there is
a problem with Weatherlink crashing.

I am thinking of going to ambientweather.com's Virtual Weather
Station. The cost for the inernet version is $100, more than I want
to spend for practice.

Is anyone familar with Weatherlink and crash problems?

Does Virtual Weahter Station have crash problems?

NOAA seem hell bent on dropping the knot as a basic measure despite
its ideal meter. So here goes with the conversion tables once more:

Saffir-Simpson Scale

Category One Hurricane: 64-82 knots,
74-95 mph,or 119-153 km/hr.

Category Two Hurricane: 83-95 knots;
96-110 mph, or 154-177 km/hr.

Category Three Hurricane: 96-113 knots;
111-130 mph, or 178-209 km/hr.

Category Four Hurricane: 114-135 knots;
131-155 mph, or 210-249 km/hr.

Category Five Hurricane:
Winds greater than 135 knots;
155 mph, or 249 km/hr.
