Weather Forecast

We provide daily weather forecasts for all major destinations
There is an option for 2 day weather forecasts and 5 day weather forecasts for all locations
When you are planning a holiday, a short trip or a business trip you can see what the weather will be at your destination

Our weather forecasts show weather symbols which provide minimum and maximum temperature for that day, the type of weather: be it rain, overcast or sunny

Weather forecasts are an inexact science, in the US weather measurements are made twice a day: radiosondes - also known as weather balloons are launched worldwide at the same time. They ascend up to 7 to 10 miles up where the weather begins and measure temperatures, Wind, wind speed and direction and air pressure. This information is sent down to the National Centers for Environmental Prediction in Washington DC.

Other measurements are taken at sea level by weather stations, ships at sea, from commercial aircraft and by weather radars of different types.

All this data is then entered into Weather forecast Models to different centers all over the world and fed through computers which have Been programmed to show interactions between

  • Temperature
  • Wind
  • Pressure
  • Formation of clouds and precipitation
  • Absorption and emission of infrared (heat) radiation

All of these equations are called a "numerical weather forecast model"

There is also the weather and conditions at the surface which have to be taken into account:
This is complex as there is so much energy exchanged here, for example vegetation cools the surface due to evapo-transipration, and a jungle is always cooler then the desert.
