I came across this useful website today............

http://www.darthaven.co.uk/weather.


Now being moored in Dartmouth I think it's a handy bit of kit to have at hand.
Many's the time I've wondered what the wind and direction REALLY is, and not just relying on a prediction. Now I can see this info first hand without getting off my settee! Brilliant!

I also found this one some time ago

(scroll to the very bottom of the page to see the current weather data)

There must be many more site like this and I thought it would be really useful to have this information in one place (maybe it already exists).
Perhaps if you know of any similar websites we could pool this information in one place.
 
The darthaven weatherlink is a repeater of the Froward Point weatherlink:

Best to go to the source!

Absolutely right!!

I set up the system at Froward Point and it has proved to be very useful for all sorts of people from the Dart Harbour Authority to check wind speed for visiting cruise ships ( above a certain speed it is not viable to navigate the river) to window cleaners who email when the system is down!

There is a web site of other users of the software used here:-

I walked up to Froward point to see how its all done when I was down in august, very interesting and staff are very good at explaining what is what, definatly worth a visit
