meteo france :(

[matt1]

Big fan of Meteofrance. Even with my schoolboy French I can understand their great extended outlook forecasts for the channel....but where have they gone?? Try as I might I can't access those detailed / extended forecasts from the "Bulletin Expertise" tab anymore. It just seems to open a new view of either coast or sea area gale warnings??? The problem started last week when they had the adverse weather warnings associated with the heatwave. Anyone found a work around?

I wish our met office would offer a similar format

Exactly. That link in my browser is just taking me to page that has a large map of France with the sea areas or coastal zones, with strong winds coloured and a text summary below for 1 day. If I click on Antifer, nothing happens. I am unable to access the previous 5 day text summary anymore? Can you see that? The first couple of days were broken down by sea area with the subsequent days being a general indication (per day) for the Channel

I’ve just clicked on Antifer from the “large” link and got

I think I can see what you mean, there used to be a 7 day “forecast” that had decreasing levels of confience.

Like you I can’t find it, but found that by screen-shotting every day 7 days before planning to leave, by the time we got to the actual day the forecast from 7 days previously had changed enough to be merely guesswork.

Found a 7 day forecast from the app not the website:

 

[DownWest]

Same here
It went offline for near a day, then came back in a new format with the map. Nothing like as good as the previous, where we got a local several day format.

See my post above, the app has the seven days.

Thanks - I've downloaded the app now, cheers

I use their app on the phone.

There is also the web version

You can play from there.

A glaring omission from that is Visibility.

I wonder why that is.

Welcome.

Pleased to read in the Large forecast that a thalweg is looming.

Always thought that should be a Harry Potter character or spell

Oddly enough, it has reverted to it's previous format.

Try Meteoconsult.fr. You have detailed forecasts for two weeks.

Every detail except visibility!

Every detail except visibility!

That's clear. That's why one learns navigation.

Please explain what you mean.
