THE SAILOR'S BOOK OF THE WEATHER - SIMON KEELING
Weather forecasting can seem like a black art with meteorologists producing forecasts that contradict what you are reading from the charts. This book takes the confusion out of the forecasts and helps you answer, 'Why is that happening?'
Written in an easy to read style the book contains many colour photgraphs and illustrations in it's 150 pages.

Hello again,
The sailing forecasts at Weatherweb.TV have all been updated today (as they are each day) and are available to view online now.
It is quite a simple forecast for this weekend, being one of showers! It is hard to get any detail into the forecast as there will be so many showers around. As is always the way in these situations there may be some areas that are more at risk than others so check the latest forecasts each day for these.
If you friends wish to subscribe to receive this forecast they just need to email sailingweather-subscribe@weatherweb.net
Best wishes,
Simon
WEEKEND WEATHER FORECAST
Issued: 1200 Thursday 10th April 2008
SATURDAY:
Low pressure in control through Saturday, centred towards the north of the UK. Troughs rotating around the low bringing heavy showers at times.
And really the weather of the day can be summed up as one of sunshine and showers. The showers heavy at times and also thundery too. Most of them probably across northern and western areas, but anywhere at risk from catching a heavy one. Hail and thunder a possibility too.
Winds will be mainly W 12-17kt (F4-F5) in the south, NE 10-14kt (F4-F5) in the north, and cyclonic close to the centred of the low over northern England.
SUNDAY:
The area of low pressure is expected to slip away into the North Sea through the course of the day on Sunday, bringing the flow more into a northwesterly direction. Showery troughs continuing to push southwards through the day.
Some bright spells ! on Sunday morning and reasonable conditions for many inland and eastern areas. However, to the north and west showers will be going from early morning, and these quickly spreading inland. Again the showers could be heavy just about anywhere with a risk of hail and thunder in places too.
Winds mainly NW 8-12kt (F3-F4).
