Met Office weather or BBC weather forecasts, whether online weather or television weather, are equally as fictional. Eyeballs, wind socks, waving a damp finger in the air, and whether one is wearing a poor weather Parker or not is usually sufficient (unless you're a microlight pilot and its the normal trendy 'look')
But seriously, I cant see how the Met Office subscription services are necessary when the relevant information for general flying is available without a subscription.
There is a met picture that I would like to gain access to: the tephigram. Having used them in locations various in close liaison with a proper forecaster, they are infinitely useful even to mere mortals. Yet I cannot seem to find a website or whatever that makes these little gems accessible to Joe Public in the UK. (Noted there are few online tephis for areas State side, with some questionable validity.) It may well be that these aren't available to the world at large at all.
If anyone does know of anywhere that current tephigrams can be found would you do todays good deed and please share?
Fly safe!
