MetWEB is a comprehensive online weather shop designed
to give leisure yachtsmen the complete weather picture at
any time, day or night.
MetWEB's tailored one-off or subscription packages allow
you to choose the information you wish to view, to fit your
budget, be it observations, satellite images or animated
five-day forecasts.
Users will see many new additions to the service including
new wind, swell and wave charts. There are now more animations
for longer time periods, more frequently updated forecasts
and more forecaster-written products.
BBC weather forecaster Philip Avery will be joining the
team on Saturday 17 September to answer questions from the
public and discuss his experience of competing in the most
recent Global Challenge yacht race. Philip was a crew member
on one of the twelve yachts sailing the 'wrong way' round
the world, in the race which finished in August after 30,000
miles and 10 months of sailing against prevailing winds
and currents.
The Met Office will be exhibiting alongside the Hydrographic
Office on stand A108 and is particularly pleased to be joining
forces with another Government agency at such an event.
