After the BBC ceases to use LW, does anyone know 1. What times will the shipping forecast be broadcast? 2. When will the Inshore Waters forecast be broadcast? 3. When will reports from coastal stations be broadcast and which stations? I have asked the BBC twice recently and had no reply.

Am I slow on the uptake (probably, yes) or does everyone know the meteoblue now has the UKUM, globally, for 7 days ahead at 3-hourly intervals. They say, correctly that it is a 10km grid model. That does not mean that their product resolution is 10km. Weather Maps | Live Satellite & Weather...

Windy used to have a facility letting you compare forecasts from several models at one location. Has that disappeared as is the way for many useful online products? Or am I being my old incompetent self?😎

Does anyone use MobileGrib? I think it is Android only? Or has it died the death as can be the case. From my perspective the most used GRIB packages are PockerGrib, IOS/Android SailGrib, Android WeatherTrack, IOS, Weather4D, IOS/Android Are there any others that forumites find useful: Please...

I have an HP2700 series printer. It has become useless for printing envelopes. Normal printing is fine. It seems to be a hardware issue. Any advice?

I doubt that there will be many applicants from YBW forum members, but, obviously cannot rule it out. The application details shine a light on the Office that might be of interest, Role details – Chair of Met Office – Apply for a public appointment – GOV.UK. Interesting that they are going to...

I have trie to download a Pre-Avis form for a N Brittany port. I am probably being a little dim but can only get a pdf version that I cannot use to enter details. Advice, please.

It has been announced that BBC LW will cease next March. Details for the shipping forecast are at BBC Radio 4 begins information campaign to transition listeners from Long Wave i missed this announcement and am surprised that it has not been publicised more widely

The Joint Commission for Oceanogrsphy and Marine Meteorology is now, last year, dead. Their website has been replaced by WMO-IMO WWMIWS. This is an excellent source of High Seas and NAVTEX weather messages worldwide. Its main drawback is that, although you can bookmark URLs for Metareas, you...

High resolution Met Office forecast on Windy.com. This is a significant change of heart, to be welcomed.

This has just changed. Any views?

The eC1331 is not, to me at least, not friendly on a laptop. Has anyone been able to use it on an iPad?

Like the UK Met Office, ECMWF has always charged for its GRIB data. PredictWind did some form of deal, I have no idea about details, and now provides both ECMWF and UK GRIB data products to its paying customers. As a loss leader, I understand that they make limited amounts of data freely...

I have just noticed that the Ventusky app is now showing the GFS GRIB data out to 14 days. These have long been available using the Saildocs email facility. I have never taken them seriously. I have always regarded 10 days as being the useful maximum for deterministic prediction. By 10 days...

In a letter published in the January edition of Weather. the “popular level” R Met Soc journal, I have suggested that the Met Office should follow the USA, Canada, Germany and France by making GRIB data openly available for use by third parties such as XyGrib, Windy.com, Ventusky.com, etc. As...
