Grib file wind speed ..

[ParaHandy]

when you get a wind symbol on these things with a little triangle on the quiver, is this 50kn? So a triangle plus 1 and a half little line quivers is 65kn or the low edge of a hurricane? Noticed this on sunday's forecast for St George's channel.

 

[BrendanS]

Yes, triangle is 50knts, triangle and one and half lines is 65knts

Thinking of setting out, Douglas?

Seriously, I don't which GRIB file reader you are using, but the one that I'm using, a free fax reader recommended by Frank Singleton, shows the wind speed and directions for where ever the cursor is located on the chart.

 

[ParaHandy]

Yes, I'm also using one of Frank's recomendations but reading the grib into maxsea. No, I'm nae gang onywhere this w/e!

(ta, brendan!)
