Weather forecast looking better by the day.
Dunno - according to metcheck it looks bloody freezing !
All confused temp. - wise ............. but seem to concur on Southerly wind; that should be more comfy ?? ; offshore ??
Hope it doesn't all change over next few days.
Alun.
Yes, but the wind is dropping.
Forecast changing again. For Minehead just down the road.
Windguru now forecasts 15-18 knots SE.
Metcheck forecasts 15-16 mph but temp is freezing (windchilled -5
) with snow and sleet.
BBC has Burnham on Sea with 20mph westerly and max temp 11 c.
Who do we believe?
it is common practice to believe whichever best supports your ambitions...........
ie if you simply don't want to go when it's cold but will only actually wimp out because of wind pick the windy one! ![]()
personally I would take the Theyr one giving W 2-3 on launching going S2 for recovery. The sea state however will be a bit choppy on the ebb because of residual seas from the current W5/6
hope you all have a great time
Well it looks reaonable to me
15mph SSE winds
Max 3C Temp, Wind chill -2C
Good Visability
Slight sea state
No rain ?!?! ![]()
Sunrise 6:35
Sunset 18:11
or go to Weather Page and type in Burnham on Sea.
Found this site to be fairly good.

Cold I don't mind, slightly choppy I don't mind. However I've been caught out a few time, forecast says good to ok, but when Igot to the slip and it wasn't the f4 I was expecting, had to turn around and bugger off home.
Kam,
Metcheck - enter "Burnham-on-Sea" and NOT Burnham !!
( I made exactly the same mistake, the other one is somewhere in the freezing north )
Paul, I used Minehead (a few miles down the coast) the forecast is still freezing.
Tried Burnham-on-sea, Metcheck forecasts 1 c colder but 2 mph less wind. Yippee... ![]()
Blimey, I see what you mean. Last time I looked they were forecasting temp of 13 deg C. Forecast now is for cold / sleet, snow with a southerly wind. ( Not that I know the best direction for wind there but southerly would seem to be a good direction ?
Metoffice isnt good:
Outlook for the following 24 hours:
Wind: southeast 5 or 6, veering south.
Weather: outbreaks of rain.
Visibility: good or moderate.
Sea State: moderate to rough.
Ill get in contact with Dick @ Burnham this afternoon....Southerly is good, but at F5/6 its pushing it.... ![]()
Just spoken with Dick - he says the weather today would be Ok, but if the forecast stays as F5/6 Southerly it will be a little much - I am going to call him after 5 tonight when the Met Office update and then take a view on it then - sorry its so late, but it really is 50/50.

I'm out, too windy for me. Not nice to get chuck around. ![]()
