Cool weather link

[windsock]

Came across this link today that shows wind direction + knts on a map. You can look ahead a couple of days to see how it looks and changes up and down the coast. Other features is that you can zoom in and play the animation.

Link: www.bom.gov.au/jsp/marine/wind/index.jsp
I've placed the link on the windsock site on the main page & weather page.

You can zoom in closer than this screen shot.

Very interesting to see how the wind strength is so much lower (or nil) inland. And how much stronger it is south of the border down Ezza's way! They seem to get stronger more reliable northerlies.

Very interesting. I'll be bookmarking this one. Thanks.

Can only zoom in closer in selected areas, like Brisbane area.
