Coast Guard Changes the internet sites don't seem to be updated to reflect the new system which is very unhelpful.
I have enquired about the weather forecasts and been given the following information from the Stornoway Coast Guard which others may find useful
"With regard to the weather forecasts the same aerials will be used but the time has been changed in the area north of 56 degrees. Belfast CG are now using the time slot that Clyde previously had.
Stornoway now issue the forecast at 0110 local time and every 3 hours afterwards. The channels used are Butt of Lewis, Skriag (Skye), Barra and Torosay are on channel 10. Stornoway, Clettreval (North Uist)Drumfern (South Skye) and Tiree on channel 23. Forsnaval (West Lewis), Rodel and Glengorm Channel 84. Melvaig and Arisaig are on channel 86.
We will of course give you a forecast on request if for any reason you miss the broadcast."
Hopefully it works out in practice

Re: Coast Guard Weather forecasts
TBH, if I do miss it I just leave the radio on until some other tosser has the neck to ask for it to be repeated.
