Weather |
|
|
Passage Weather for quick downloads of zipfiles with separate charts for wind, precipitation, waves etc. Useful if you want to save on dongle time, or for later access when without internet. |
|
|
Gribfiles do about the same as Passage Weather, but show wind, precipitation and pressure in one picture. First you have to download the program, once. (It's supposed to be possible to open the downloaded data later, but I've never managed to do so.) |
|
|
Windfinder shows hourly details for 3 days in the “super” forecast, but strangely enough they often don't correspond with the standard forecast. |
|
|
Windguru is a similar site, has more locations, but shows no night hours (because meant for surfers?). |
|
|
www.meteo.pt/pt/maritima/previsao MarSurf.jsp?selPraia=6&idPraia=6 |
A Portuguese site with lots of interesting
information, but I can't find out anymore how to get to this page from the meteo.pt home page. |
|
Meteo Galicia for Galician waters. Nice detail: it also gives a forecast for the Caminos de Santiago. |
|
|
DMI gives a land forecast and we find it quite accurate about precipitation. |
|
|
|
YR is another land forecast, but also for the very long term or for 3-hourly details and it has a PDF-icon.
AccuWeather, and another land forecast for the very long term. |
|
