Accurate Weather and Wind forcast website - SteveO - 12-04-2012
Do any of you know a relatively reliable website where I can monitor the weather, especially the wind forcast for stellenbosch. And also has extra info like barometric pressure and all that. It would help a lot thanks!

The WeatherSA app i think is pretty cool, it even has weather for the actual dams if you search them...

or the actual Blackberry App is pretty cool.

PS: Best way to try get a forecast, is visit all the relevant sites, get a good over-view of whats going on, and take an average of the information to get the best info for yourself
Hope this helps.
Long term forecast.... I see a dedicated wx tackleware session coming up here. More guys are asking for wx info (Nav...time to arrange another session me thinks)

Awesome! Thanx! I know about WeatherSA on the net, I'm just not always happy with what they have to say about the weather, even if its true, but I dont like the type of weather predicted. hahaha Im looking for a specialized site or something.
Any session thats got something to do with fishing, Im in!
Windfinder.com is an awesome sight, but they don't have Stellenbosch in their range of towns. It gives a prediction of every three hours wind strength and so forth.
Hoping for no wind tomorrow morning at 6am for a spot of revenge fishing at Techno Park.

Rob Fisher's site has a cool barometer graph and the weather is more accurate than not.

Not really a forecast site but you can view all past data and updates every few minutes. I cannot help you with login info, that you would need to request yourself in the contact us section.
This site twins with vitalfireweather which is a useful site with loads of info for those of us who are involved with firefighting issues.
Accurate Weather and wind forecast website - theBee - 12-05-2012
Have you checked out windguru.com? The searching is sometimes irritating.. But their forecasts are very accurate with a details for every 3rd hour of the day.. It has several cities and some dams incl brandvlei. Doubt it has Stellies, but still check it out..

You all need to try <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.yr.no">www.yr.no</a><!-- w -->
The best site in my opinion!
For the accuracy I would not put any site more accurate than the next.
- SteveO - 12-05-2012
Awesome thanks guys!! Appreciate it a lot! This morning when I woke up at half past 5, I just stuck my head out the door, saw there was an unpleasant wind and slept further. But now I can check tonight, and I'll know if Im getting up early tomorrow or not!
