weather-links

blank spacer
This page of links makes no concessions to aesthetics. The aim is to be purely functional. It replaces earlier versions and contains some new links.
Other weather websites of course via Google.

If you can't find what you want, try using the facility (top bar) - IE "Edit, find on this page" or with Firefox "Find"

The page redesign was primarily to enable this facility - the old graphics would not allow this.
Do try this first before emailing me but if all else fails I am jack.harrisonATgmail.com (copy then change AT to @)
