Ratings and Reviews
BOM is always right ... somewhere
Excellent thank you.
MetEye doesn’t work on my iPhone but VicWind does and seems to give the same info ??
We sail on Port Phillip ie Melbourne but the BoM’s forecast is a Gale Warning ... somewhere on the Bay.
VicWind gives us a more definitive indication of where the wind strengths are, allowing us to go sailing with more confidence about the variable and quickly changing conditions at 38 South.
Would you please add isobars :) It would be nice to compare those synoptic 4 day forecasts and see how they are tracking.
Cheers jj
Very useful site
VIC Wind app is a very resourceful site where updated information could be found in a reliable manner.
Only basic knowledge is required to navigate the site. It is also important to follow the right beacon to get the most relevant information location wise.
Also, like most things in real world, weather forecasts should be taken with a little bit of caution, as weather conditions change quickly in this particular corner of the continent.
Everything in one place
Love this app for simplicity of use, accessibility to all that you need and availability of real time data. Recommended this to Vic Coast Guard who were also impressed!
