| A BRIEF INTRODUCTION | |
 |
Welcome to GreatWeather featuring UK weather forecasts, charts, rain radar, satellite imagery etc! The site was launched on 19th September 1995 when just 4 links were listed & the site was known as Ant Veal's UK Weather Centre. Its aims remain the same as the day that it was conceived. Those are: > to provide a simply presented comprehensive set of links to a broad range of websites with meteorological content > to be unbiased & feature content provided by weather companies, universities, professional & amateur meteorologists > to appeal to anyone with an interest in British meteorology and climatology New links & updates are marked accordingly for around a month to highlight changes. I try to update the site at least fortnightly and strive to minimise dead links. Please E-mail any suggestions for improvements to this site, new links and corrections to existing. I use limited advertising to help offset some of the costs associated with running this site. Ant Veal. |
| LATEST NEWS: 'GreatWeather' currently lists around 1351 links with 98.0% currently working when checked on 13th May 2013. Another four brand new links and quite a few updates to dead links and I see another 27 that still need revising such is the way of the internet! I've recently signed up to Twitter as @TeignmouthSkies. Feel free to follow me & send me new links & corrections. |
