Seanmul88,

Once you have studied some of the above. excellent links to useful weather forecasts, you can join the rest of us at the airfield, looking out of the window, wondering why the actual weather seems to be a lot worse than anyone seemed to forecast. You will discuss with your fellow aspiring aviators whether it is really getting better or not. Is that cloud base lifting? Is the sky really getting brighter in the West? You will wait until some brave flyer takes to the skies and then ask your friendly radio man to ask him what the cloud base and visibility are like? You will then console yourselves by quoting the "its better to be down here wishing you were up there than being up there wishing you were down here" mantra. Eventually you will give up and go home. Just as you get home, the weather will improve and it will become a perfect day for flying. Ask me how I know that.
