Re: WEATHER STATIONS
Maverick, You have left out the one weather website specifically designed for fishermen - Fish Ranger. It has the best data available, shows real time average speed and gust speed overlaid on the forecast, air pressure forecasts, Tidal Streams and slack water and now 10 day forecasts. http://www.fis...

Re: Another weather website
Hi Yako, thanks for your support. It's been a labor of passion to get to this point building something which I truly believe in so I hope it can survive. I thought I should clear something up -> Fish Ranger, MetEye and Willyweather all use the same forecast data created by BoM. There is NO point com...

Re: Another weather website
hi Yako, I am Joe the founder of Fish Ranger, aka jpg76 on this forum.
Not a developer per se, I'm in the IT industry but not a coder. I have a team that do the coding.
And yes unfortunately it is at risk of shutting down due to lack of sponsorship.

Re: Another weather website
Hi Steve, I do agree with you, seeing information in different ways improves our understanding of it. That page is great for the live buoy readings and yes it would be good if it was country wide rather than just NSW. I'll send BoM a message and ask if they have any plans to ingest that data or have...

Re: Another weather website
Hi JB, yes for 13th beach that's the reason. Barwon Heads is now a standard port BoM supply data for. Its calculated at the barwon heads bridge so tide times on 13th beach which is a couple km away and without coastal obstruction will be the same as tide times at the bridge. Without wanting to sound...

Re: Another weather website
Hi jb2020, The devil is in the detail. Several years ago when Willyweather was set up BoM only had about 50 ports around Australia they provided tide times for. Willyweather referenced each of their locations to one of these ports and put in a time offset for that spot to specify its tide times. Sin...

Re: Another weather website
Hi, The site you have listed, as with Windfinder and Windy and WindyTy which have a similar animation method, all use global forecast models and this is not the best forecast data for Australia. Global forecast models are 'rough guesses' of the weather and are really only used as starting points to ...
