Weather webcast
Our resident meteorologist, Chris Tibbs at Sailing-weather Ltd, is keeping his eye on the latest weather information for tomorrow's big race! His latest forecast is provided below. Don't forget that Chris will also be presenting the Raymarine Weather Webcast this evening (Friday) which will be available here, courtesy of BT Rich Media, from around 8pm.
Outlook for Saturday 18th June 2005...
There will be high pressure over the English Channel tonight extending into the Southern North Sea. On Saturday morning the high in the Channel will weaken and the main centre of the high is expected over the North Sea near Holland.
This is going to drop the wind overnight to calm in the Solent and the Channel, with a high risk of mist or fog banks.
Tomorrow morning the wind will be light and variable in the Solent before picking up from the E-SE. Although it is expected to be force 3 or less, it should reach a force 4 near St Catherine's during the afternoon. The high pressure will limit the formation of a sea breeze although there should be some funnelling of the wind in the eastern Solent.
The mist and fog will be slow to clear tomorrow morning in the Solent and there is a risk of fog banks particularly south of the Isle of Wight. Visibility will therefore be moderate or poor throughout the day.
The temperature should reach 22ºC on land, higher if the mist burns off early and we get some sunshine.
