About this page

Yachts clubs and other organisations maintain automatic weather sites and put their data on-line. Some are listed here.

I have listed those unofficial sites known to me that provide constantly updated weather observations. As with all weather data these should be used with care, slightly more so than with observations from "official sites" listed on my page of weather actuals on the Internet. Official sites are regularly maintained and the data monitored. I do not know about the level of such checks for the observations listed below.

Two particularly blatant examples came from Froward Point in 2011. The lowest temperature was listed as an impoosible -39.5 deg C on 17th June; the greatest daily rainfall was recorded as an equally unbelievable 998 mm on 13 December. Although neither would have been relevant to sailors, these do indicate the potential for nonsense from unmonitored automatic weather stations. Caveat emptor.

The format, ease of use and clarity varies greatly from place to place. I can give no assurance regarding accuracy or reliability of these stations. This is very much an "As is," page.
