New (to me anyway) Weather Website

Two ww posts today 🙂

I was alerted to this weather website by CYA member Angus Rogers (MV Mahanui), it really is a cracker & amazingly it works – it predicted (correctly) a fine weekend for the CYA Waiheke Cruise while all local forecasters predicted rain. It also predicted and showed accurately the track of the cyclone that cancelled the CYA Yacht Regatta and predicted correctly the max wind speed in the Auckland area of about 30 knots.

It uses satellite imagery and ocean buoys downloaded into a massive computer program in the States to predict weather for the next week and provides animation of barometric pressure, wind speed and direction, and then if you go into the specific local zones they give even more detailed predictions as well as giving tides.
