JamesF Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Welcome to SGL.At the moment the most reliable weather site seems to be the window sat24.com is however very useful for getting an idea of what is heading our way and the astro forecast from 7timer.com (eg. http://www.7timer.com/index.php?product=astro&lon=-3&lat=51〈=en&tzshift=0) is also quite informative.James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Spock Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Hi, welcome to SGL I like to look in here http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/forecast/#?tab=map&map=CloudAndRain&zoom=6&lon=-4.00&lat=53.53&fcTime=1356490800 for a good view of cloud and rain. A good place for a satellite view is here http://www.sat24.com/?culture=en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesM Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Hi and welcome to the forum and congratulations on your new scope. As has already been mentioned, SAT24 seems to be the best for helping you to predict what's on the way but the way the weather has been of late, it's going to be very much a last minute call whether to set up or not.Wishing you clear skies soon for your scope and hope you enjoy the forumJames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
