The Malvern Wyche
Weather Station News:
After a long struggle with the electronics and, having unravelled the mysteries of aerials that don't transmit and receive like it said they would on the tin, the Club weather station is now back in operation.
Thanks from us all are due to Bryan for his perseverence and eventual success. Perhaps he should make himself a trophy to celebrate!
I'm not sure where the sensors are relative to the top of the hill, so will ask him to write a paragraph to describe the likely accuracy in various wind directions.

These links are the sites that I find most useful.

Unfortunately, Weather Jack has hung up his instruments and will no longer be publishing daily soaring forecasts.

Selections can be made by region and over various time periods: Predictions are given for every few hours.
Despite the over animated graphics it seems quite good but I don't know how accurate it will prove to be.
Includes nice links for specific events or professions, including
BBQs which may have been handy for the club evening!

Lots of good stuff if you can work it all out!

This is the latest Sat pic.

Weather channel -
Rather a lot of pop-up adverts but seems to have a wealth of info.
It can show hourly predictions for specific towns and seems to work well
(e.g. Malvern)

NOTAMS -
You do check them don't you?
Not really weather related but important none the less.
