Yes, groan, sorry, but The Diary can't help talking about THE WEATHER again. In mitigation, the weather is being a bit.... unusual.
The forecast for tomorrow is dreadful, with promises of winds up over 60mph when a small but deep depression spins in from the Atlantic during the afternoon. If you're reading this today, it's well worth looking at the MagicSeaweed animated forecast to watch it coming in. Some creatures, like these geese, seem to know it's imminent, so have moved out.
Please note that yesterday's blog entry about the best weather forecast site has been updated, with another site added on the recommendation of one of The Diary's readers - for which many thanks. It's particularly useful for outdoor sports enthusiasts.
Another good weather website is www.scottishweather.net which has links to local weather stations typically run by weather enthusiasts. It's more for immediate weather rather than forecasts. It also shows the sites with webcams so you can see the conditions for yourself. Wouldn't it be great if the Diary installed one too!
ReplyDeleteI like that site! It's fun.
ReplyDeleteI would consider installing a station as I really enjoy doing that sort of thing - and Ardnamurchan and its surrounding area is sorely lacking in representation on the map.
