Meteo France on wap?

[brownsox]

Currently strongwindbound in S Brittany with time on hands. Have Blackberry which gets UK shipping fcast, weather online etc. Would like to get Meteo France on it too, anyone know how? Meteo site says have to pay but not how much, or how. Current marina posts eng and french meteo every day but the two are different - even the Bft numbers!

hello,

don't know what blackberry is, but as the title of the post is "MF WAP bulletins", both coastal and offshore ones are available here (for free)

wap.meteomarine.free.fr


hope this helps

Here is another website with the Radio France forecast, albeit in French, but it must be rather simple, as even I can usually figure out whats going on :

Roberto that's fantastic - exactly what I was looking for, brilliant. I can now get the forecast they pin up in the marinas, wherever we are. In French of course but reading French is a lot easer than listening to it. I knew it had to be available somewhere but I had drawn a total blank.
The other suggestion - for which thanks also, was for off shore sea areas further south.

just a "warning": that is an amateur WAP site which has been going on for a few months now, and expanding to other areas, so it is basically healthy and growing

there is always the possibility of it going off line, or not being available... well like any amateur things there is no guarantee etc etc /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
