Can this forecast really be true

[BlueChip]

The plan is to make Weymouth from Gosport for the weekend stopping off at Poole on the way back
The BBC are forecasting 13 knots from the East on Saturday then going 10 knts from the North on Sunday and 12 knots from the West on Monday.

Can this be true, wind up the tail or on the beam for 3 whole days? I don't believe it.

You may need an extra jumper on Sunday but you cant be unlucky all the time /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Metcheck seem to agree with this scenario, broadly, so perhaps it's true. There's time enough for it all to change yet, however! /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

You might even get some sunshine and it remains dry. How about that for a holiday weekend?

Everybody knows there are three sorts of wind: what you want, what is forecast and what you get.

Might be no wind on Saturday /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

The BBC doesn't forecast, the met office tries to. I would ignore a BBC forecast, it must be a spoof. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Whats the problem? It happens often enough - and even more often the other way round so that its on the nose all the way.

I reckon sailing is a bit like cycling - around 80% of the time is spent going uphill. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
