Weather Website

A new web site for weather forecasts is  available.

Here is the address :  yo.no This will show the weather for Miena.

It provides a 3 day forecast and observations.

Use of the Tabs will give longer forecasts maps and statistics.

Better weather forecasting

I had the great opportunity to listen to a talk by a weather forecaster last week. My mate in Melbourne calls them weather guessers, and of course the forecasters always cop a serve when weather isn't as predicted. But as explained though Tasmania is one of the harder places to predict. Hill, mountains, inlets and geographical forms can turn a predicted prevailing northerly breeze on top of a hill into a variable or light southerly at the base.
