Hey there!

I thought it would be interesting for some of us to have some Wx links that I have collected over the past few months. Thanks to the UN guys who helped me to get them!

Well, I use this (http://oiswww.eumetsat.org/SDDI/cgi/listImages.pl?m=bnw,a=0,sa=8,pr=BNW,f=1,c=IR_108,se=6,n=6,d= 1,v=400,pp=0,t=200606210600) for TZ. Note this can also be 'zoomed out' or be set for other sectors.

Useful thread. Wx can be notoriously difficult to predict in East Africa in certain seasons. Sometimes I think that sat photos don't necessarily help at all, but at least it's more data!
