Anyone notice that a lot of the BOM forecasts have been wrong lately....

Makes me start to think that it just can't be done.....

Hasn't worked out too badly in the past (or at least in the last 4 years I have been following them). Certainly our current weather pattern seems to be causing some problems though.

Last Saturday was 25+ knots at Ricketts, almost right on schedule at 6:00.

Try the marine simulation for a more detailed view of when and where the wind will be.

I don't have a huge amount of faith in the simulation but every bit of information helps, especially when La Nina is behaving like a bitch with PMS.

I have been told that they mostly get the forecasts right, but the dates wrong
