The purpose of this page is to provide a convenient place to look up weather forecasts for places where we often go climbing. Each location has links to forecasts by several good sources. The forecasts are often different, so it is up to you to judge the most probable weather conditions based on the various forecasts.
For a great overview of the weather - if
you're still trying to decide where to go - try XC Weather. This
first comes up showing wind speeds over the whole UK, but point to an
arrow and click and it'll show you the weather forecast for the next 5
days. Checking out the whole country is really quick with this page. You
can also set the map to show France, Germany, Italy or Spain, and to
show temperature, pressure, weather or visibility rather than wind
speed, and you can set which of these you want to see by when you first
load the page. Fantastic!
First, homepages for each of the sites ...
If you want to know what's happening above 2000 ft, accuweather.com does a page specifically for mountain forecasts. Alternatively, see the Mountain Weather Information Service.
If there are any other locations that you'd like to add to this list, or if you know of any better websites for weather forecasts, please tell me.
