weather

Post by Stafsels »

Any idea for an forcast for the weather: severe rain or a nice normal sunny day with clouds?

Anybody from GB with an actual and reliable prognose?

Greetings,

Henk

At swindonweb they give a prognose that is provided by RAF Fairford, but unfortunately, this is changing every few houres, especcially about rain, dry weather, thunder. But I don't think it is a hot show this year. Temperatures are predicted as under 20 degrees C for quite a while. http://www.swindonweb.com/index.asp?m=8 ... r+Forecast

I'm also not from the UK, but I think this one very reliable.

But as already said, it's constantly changing. (almost by the minute)

Keep your fingers crossed, and hope for the best!! 8)

Is that the one from Pakistan? or did they manage to get another Orion (to?). Anyway quite a long time ago there were P-3's at RIAT, can't remember one after the last Dutch.
