Lure Only Species Hunt

One day closer.........and it's looking all different again!!

 

Weather window seems [ in most forecasts] to be disappearing or moving on to a later day.......just 'Windfinder' still calling a calm Northerly.

 

Wonder what they'll say come tomorrow??

 

Alun.

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Duncan F (bathclaret)]

I know. Very frustrating.

 

Is it me, or is Metcheck just hopelessly optimistic? Having tracked things for a while now, the wind speeds they forecast can be at least doubled in reality and compared with the BBC/Met Office predictions.

 

Take tomorrow for instance - 10 mph SW they reckon, which we might think OK - the BBC says force 5-7 and up to 8 at first!

 

... if only Metcheck was ever right

[alun j.]

I don't think BBC is very accurate either though!

I check the shipping and inshore forecasts from the Met Office - they are the most credible of the marine weather forecasting sites.

the only thing that can be said about the weather this year is that it has been unpredictable and frustrating from the point of view of trip planning. The last forecast I saw had changed dramatically from the same forecast 6 hours before. it's almost a case of wake up on the day, wet finger in the air and cover yourself for a hasty retreat if it goes pearshaped. I may or may not be going out. I dont have difficulty making decisions I just cant make up my mind!

Yes Pete I know what you mean. I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure!
