Weather Website

You guys may already know about this, but i just found a great weather site that gives live wind speeds and directions for Redcliffe, Cape Moreton, Brisbane Airport etc., and 7 day wind and weather forecasts, + moon phases and live temperature.

So here http://www.seabreeze.com.au/graphs/qld.asp

Cheers, Joel

Yep, already got it, it is one of my favourite weather site Obone, thanks for sharing though.

Dont rely on it though always check just before you leave. A couple times i have checked a day in advance etc gone out and the winds were sometimes better sometimes worse. one time i checked the night before and expecting a calm 5-10 knots. Get out there and its 15-20 with a chill factor of eleventy billion.

Totally agree with Oceandonkey - it's constantly changing.

\"eleventy billion\" PMSL

Its a great site dont get me wrong but yeah im pretty sure that I use the same weather charting program as the bureau, it is complex to understand at first but once you get the hang of it youll find its a lot more reliable. If you can get your hands on a scientific calculator its alot easier. All you need is two charts one with 0-25 on it the other has rain or fine and a dart.. im sure you can figure out the rest.

Best one yet

Personally speaking, I always rely on the old string barometer, just hang a piece from a nail on your shed, then:

IF STRING IS SWAYING- IT'S WINDY

IF STRING STANDS SIDEWAYS- IT'S VERY WINDY

IF STRING IS WET- IT'S RAINING

IF STRING IS DRY- IT'S NOT RAINING

IF STRING IS STIFF- IT'S FREEZING

IF STRING CASTS SHADOW- IT'S SUNNY

IF STRING CASTS NO SHADOW- IT'S CLOUDY

IF STRING IS INVISIBLE- IT'S NIGHT

IF STRING IS SMOKING- SHED'S ON FIRE
