Cowes Week & Fastnet Race weather

[simonjk]

Hi

I know that lots of you are planning to take part in Cowes Week, with some competing in the Fastnet race too.

So I've put together a special mobile version of Weatherweb for you to get the latest forecasts from. I'm going to be recording special videos for the events too.

It's at http://m.weatherweb.net from your mobile (or to view on a desktop use http://www.weatherweb.net/wxwebtvcowesweekmobile.php ). It's all free and I hope it's of use to you.

Indications at the moment are that Cowes Week should be quite a good one, with SW-W winds. Might be a few showers and speeds around F4-F5, although could be a windier start at F6 with a low west of Ireland (see the chart for 3rd August below). Doesn't look likely to be a washout, and there aren't any signs of any really deep lows coming along, so fingers crossed it a stays that way!

I'll try to keep you updated via this thread too.

Hope its useful info. Keep the sun shining!

Simon

Hi,

The first of my Cowes Week video forecast is online now at http://www.weatherweb.net/wxwebtvcowesweekmobile.php

It's early days, but I thought that a quick planner for those of you attending or taking part might be appreciated.

Nothing too horrendous in there, thunderstorms could be the main problem for the week.

Keep the sun shining!

Simon
