Is there ever going to be any wind?

Where's all the wind gone?

Doesn't seem to have been any for weeks now... and nothing showing on any forecast for the foreseeable future. And I missed the last lot of midweek westerlies due to work. Not making that mistake again Arrggghh.

Well I suppose it gives BT time to fix the line for the weather station...

Hi Neal,
There looks to be some wind on the horizon for next week. Fingers crossed.

The weather station 'should' be working at the moment. It is right at this second!

BT have put in a temporary line for us until they can come out and dig up the old one to fix it. That means that at the moment I only have a 100kbps connection (if I'm lucky), but it does seem to be enough for the weather station PC to upload what it needs to upload every minute... Most of the time anyway.

Just as well the trails are there in any weather

Thanks Al - indeed weather station is working - still showing no wind though I'm keeping fingers crossed for next week...

Aha... I'm afraid there isn't much I can do about that part of the weather station. I doubt BT can fix the wind either!!

Indeed I expect fixing the the wind is beyond the capability of BT - the Automobile Association perhaps? their Ads lately seem to say they can fix most things....

I think it'll take more than a 'Very Nice Man' unfortunately.

Still, it's perfect BBQ weather out there at the moment so we shouldn't complain too much - A nice 25 knot sea breeze would certainly add to the fun though.

Id settle for no wind and head high glassy waves as an alternative! especially if its sunny !

It's 25 knots in the estuary at the moment!
