Very few people get excited by weather forecasts; the English like very much to talk about weather, but only in order to complain about it. For the most part, someone actually telling us what’s the weather is going to do spoils all the fun of it. However, there are a small but select group of people for whom weather forecasts are a great source of interest and excitement: windsurfers. You might have gathered by now that I am part of this group; on a Friday afternoon, I can often be found trawling round weather websites, finding out whether (no pun intended) it’s going to be worth me strapping the board to the roof of the car.
So, courtesy of the latest issue of Boards magazine comes a link to theyr, which is possibly the most detailed and comprehensive weather forecasting site I’ve yet seen – apparently it’s the UKWA weather site of choice, too, and they ought to know.
