Grib.us

Has anyone had difficulty with this weather site ? I use grib.us as my main weather site and it now seems to have stopped working.

Try zygrib (zygrib.org) instead. Same data just displayed in a slightly different (and IMO better) way.

Just checked it out on my Login and gave a reasonable return for the Torrevieja area, ( not that I usually use Ugrb in the Med)

I used ugrib about 4 years, and found it unreliable and the information limited - I've used zygrib in the last 5 variants and found the information far better presented and many more alternative reports available.
The only disadvantage of both zygrib and ugrib is that they're based on the US, IMHO less accurate, than the European model.

UGRIB is now back on line. All websites use the same information, it is just how they display it that is different. I use it for the Mediterranean and find it to be very accurate.

Those lucky enough to be in the Med can use
http://212.175.180.126/DTS/sea.php. This is the ECMWF model. It should be the best. Pity we cannot get it west of Gibraltar.
