Welcome to SGL

It's been a tough winter for stargazing in the south west.  We live in hope that the situation will improve soon.

Hi and welcome from another Devonian.

I like Sat24 as a weather app, not perfect but has helped me a bit lately.

Hi and welcome!

I use sat24, metcheck, and good old met office IR maps. If you look at the met office IR map and follow the last couple of hours you can predict the clear skies with reasonable accuracy yourself.

Welcome to the forum. 7Timer and Metcheck both have astronomy forecasts which as well as the all important cloud cover percentage include estimates on seeing conditions. (7Timer seems to be down at the moment.)

Hi and welcome to the lounge,

with this hobby we tend to be obsessed with weather forecasts.

Good Luck and Clear Sky's

Hi- Welcome -raining right now in Sussex! Tony

I have found that most weather site are wrongly named, they seem not to forecast but just update.

One I use had rain, then no rain and 100% cloud, then no rain and 60% cloud.

All this in a 5 hour period of checking the "forecast".

As I said I don't see a forecast but a supply of regular updates.

Which bit of South Devon?

Are you near Sidmouth NLO?

Hi there and welcome to SGL

[old dave]

I just wish that using a forecast meant good weather. Otherwise who wants to be depressed all the time? A warm welcome to you.

Hi Nikonman, it was nice to meet you at the Museum today. Hopefully you enjoyed it.

Well done Markle for that putting link in. I should have put it on here myself.
