Favorite weather forecasting site?

[wagen13 (Mike)]

I'm traveling soon to Sydney, Jervis Bay and Brisbane from Seattle. Sounds like your weather has been a challenge lately. What weather forecasting sites do you find useful for predicting if the coming night will be worthy of setting up the scope?

Thanks,
Mike

Neat! How'd you do that? Can you make one for George's River park or Linden Observatory?

[GTB_an_Owl (Geoff)]

yes Mike

all you need to do is transpose the lon and lat in decimal in the link

will even work for your home town - or any co-ordinents you put in

Weatherzone+ is the most accurate I have found for my Android phone. I don't generally use them on my PC.
I ran 3 popular ones at the same time in Tasmania and Melbourne and found Weatherzone the best.
