Any idea why onlineweather.com city forcasts have winds strengths from F4 - F7,8,9,10 most days when BBC forcast is for F4 to say 6 for same area?

the bbc is free of commercial pressure to offer more for your money. if you ask them they'll probably say the licence fee isn't high enough ;-)

I think they have the gusting winds included whereas the BBC take an average. Of course this isn't necessarily helpful when trying to work out the expected height of the waves.

I have a little webpage that links to very useful weather sites including a shipping forecast which is only 4Kb in size, great for mobile phones and pdas. Check out

http://www.ukgospelmusic.co.uk and go to the weather pages from there.

Good cruising

My web site is now fully operational. Here's a comment from a new user...

While the opening page gives N. Irish weather - the links are for the whole
of the UK and I was impressed - it really was fast.

You can get to it from http://www.stronge.org.uk

The layout is a work in progress but all the links are there.
