Tried & tested technology..

We use a combination of advanced weather feeds including the NOAA GFS model and re-compute the data according to location, altitude and surface index. We combine this with our own 'live' data feeds and use resilient web technology to present near-live and accurate weather information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Our unique system has been tried and tested on the public 'nowcast' system for all weather scenarios and received acclaim from users and media alike.

..an excellent, seriously useful site..
..your site will be of immense value ... your choice of data covers most eventualities and interests..
..am hugely impressed. There are many good weather sites, but for all the right bits of data, and especially the recognition of local variations, this one takes the biscuit..
..great web site you have created! I am sure it will be of great value to the local community. Having been caught out by storms in the past I will certainly use it in preference to the TV forecasts which always appear ambiguous for this area...
..I have been looking at your forecast over the last few weeks and it seems very reliable...
..I've just taken a look at the website, and think it's great..I love the pull-out filofax style!..

Please note: Whilst we endeavour to be the most accurate source of local weather data available, we cannot 'guarantee' accuracy. Meteorological calculations are standard calculations for wind speed, temperature, dew point, windchill and heat index and assume standard ELR.
