I would like to learn a little more about weather forcasting. Are there any suggestions of what books I should read? I don't want to be a TV weather man. I would just like a little more of an insight.

Hey Up!
Just noticed Your boat Location---- Cardiff Bay.
No Problems there then with the Weather.
Forecast for the next half hour in Cardiff bay "Changeable"
Next quarter of an Hour "Different"
Becoming--- Variable.
Then Windy, then Calm, then Raining Then Sunny.
Then it might Snow.
Then again!!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

If you want the "Bible" on this subject and be especially relevant to our "love" of water etc. :

It takes you from A to Z ... and is THE book that taught near all Ships Officers for years and years ... My copy is 1967 ! which is 6 yrs before I went to sea ! But still going strong. Probably had a few revisions since then ... (wish I had !)

Today's Guardian has a supplement (intro by Sir R K-J) with a superb centre page illustration of fronts, lows, clouds, etc. More than you would get on the average Yachtmaster shorebased course.
