Met Forecasts
I just got back from a fantastic weekend in Sweden.
4.6 hrs EGBJ to ESSL on Friday IFR @ FL110.
The Vatternrundan - 300km on a bike in 10 hrs on Saturday.
5.4 hrs ESSL to EGBJ today IFR @ FL120.
For my forecast I used:
European Aviation Weather Centre - USAF prog charts for a general view
European Significant wx charts - for cloud masses, tops and CB location
Flitestar Wx subscription - plans best route wrt winds aloft
Met Office 414/415 - for a second opinion on the above
All forecasts were pretty accurate but the Met Office was the most pessimistic in both directions from the point of view of having fully fledged fronts/troughs when other sites didn't even show a front. Although there was plenty of convection around it was easy to route around it.
Weather on the ride was good too!
