Met Office

[tonker]

I don't have time to bitch again about the met office's ability to "reliably" provide internet based Tafs and Metars.

Can anyone sudgest a "reliable" met site.

The weather being crap is one thing, but a fleet of aircraft waiting to depart because we can't access met is totaly unacceptable.

ps yes we have subscribed

try www.xcweather.co.uk (http://www.xcweather.co.uk) for cross country flights, has national map of live metars graphically displayed.

also try weatherweb (http://www.weatherweb.net/aviation.htm) good for planning forecasts.

As usual, the spams can do it well. Here's my form-based shortcut that gets recent metars and latest tafs for my local stations in a jiffy:


http://adds.aviationweather.gov/metars/index.php?submit=1&station_ids=EGNT,EGXE,EGNV,EGNH&chk_metars=on&hoursStr=3&chk_tafs=on

Go to the main site for instructions and lots of other met stuff!

Thanks for all the positive feedback. Judging by all the well informed results it seems the spotters have now left the building.

I rather like this site :- Weather (http://theyr.net/cg/cny/I172b01/F=js*L=CN*v*031017*8*EN*engl_London)

Its aways been pretty reliable.

Does anyone know of a weather site that shows isobars & fronts etc as an animation?
