Weather chart.

Is there such a thing as a weather chart type of site for astronomers in Australia that gives details about not only the weather conditions but also the seeing conditions for astronomers.

The reason I ask is because they have such a thing in the USA apparently and I thought such a website as that would be very useful, especially for those new to astronomy like myself and those who are learning to read the sky / viewing conditions,........again like myself.

With such information one can plan ahead.

One question I have :

Are viewing conditions better the lower the humidity level?
I would think so but would value your feedback, usually here at this time of the year it is always above 50%

Thanks,
Ian

Skippysky.com.au is one such site. You can select the area of Oz that is closest to you.

Great - I have bookmarked it too.
PS: At any rate I know there will be no full moon here tonight.
