anyone know a good weather site for astronomers?

[DannyHarvey]

Having missed a clear mornings sky just before sun up, does anyone know of a good weather website that will predict the clarity of the sky so I can be better prepared next time?

thanks in anticipation,

Dan

And this one (change location) http://www.accuweather.com/en/gb/todmorden/ol14-7/astronomy-weather/50373_pc

Also http://www.sat24.com/en/eu?ir=false

You need to look at a few and do a "best guess".

Not Scotland that's for sure lol.

I make my own mind up after checking this site http://www.sat24.com/?culture=en

I also look out of the window, that helps.

I use sat24, but i normally use the same method as Baz and look out the window and make my decision from that lol.

Another Sat24 recommendation here

Sat24 here too, and the MET Office's site for a broader window of the same data (sorry, no link, I'm on me phone)

I use this one, usualy pretty good, just select the astronomy tab http://www.theweatheroutlook.com/

Thanks guys! I need to make a decision as to wake up early, so looking out the window is not an option (unless I'm sleep walking!) ;-)

I have my own weather station and have kept records on and off for over 50 years, so I know just how unreliable the national forecasts can be, even for a few hours ahead! But the best idea is to go to somewhere like the BBC, enter your own locality and see what the cloud cover is likely to be. This will give you some indication and then you need to back it up by looking out of the window. As for early morning clear skies before dusk, I make a note of any possibility before going to bed then, if I happen to wake up I glance out to check and, if clear and feeling awake enough I go out - otherwise it back to bed. For a more dynamic view of what is actually happening go to EuroStat24 This will also show you just how changeable the weather actually is and why forecasts go wrong.
