Weather forecast?

[Gavin1234]

Anyone in Sydney or NW Sydney got a reliable forecast for tonight? I’m getting mixed results.

Last night was near perfect hope we get another one of those.

Defo for CFN, I use it all the time. But for tonight is a no go for Sydney and for me. Though I have seen cloud on the forecast and it's been clear.

Pretty complicated though. What’s the difference between GFS cloud and Access cloud?

You should sign up and get the free month trial see if you like it then check the dark sky section. It consolidates all the good stuff, seeing clouds, wind etc... That's pretty easy to use.
