Weather forecast / predictions

Post by Kimtown » Wed Oct 05, 2022 12:37 pm

Hey all,

What's the furthest out from a date to get reasonable weather forecasts / predictions?

Is 3 weeks too far out to get a somewhat reliable forecast? If not, where could I find this information? Windy and fishranger only seem to give 10 days of forecast info (that can dramatically change within that 10 days), and willyweather only gives up to 5 days of info, however it does give monthly averages.

Let me look into my crystal ball I see clouds,rain sunshine and wind but we do live in Melbourne.The best I've found for long range forecast is to look at the monthly averages for wind direction and strength and then take your 10 day forecast and hope for the best

Yeah, I've looked at the monthly averages for where I'm going and she ain't pretty :rf:

Hopefully we luck out with some good weather though

take the forecasts with a grain of salt, the longer out the rougher the guide unfortunately. half the time they don't get the forecast right for today/tomorrow. weather may come good for your trip yet.

Cheers mate!

Obviously very likely to change, but still, it’s good to get a very rough idea. Actually looks pretty good for now too *touches wood*
