Several people have asked about this and we're actively looking at it
at the moment. Watch this space and I'll let you known what happens!

Fantastic news. I used to rely on Metcheck's mountain forecasts, but
have moved to MWIS since Metcheck started charging and the accuracy of
their forecasts decreased IMO. Since I started using MWIS, I have been
really impressed with the real world usefullness of the East/West
forecast - something that will surely improve further with this more
detailed approach. Keep up the good work!
 
Exellent Andy, thanks for the effort.

Could you do something about the **** winter though?

Sorry - I should have been clearer - they changed the old system where
you could look 4or 5 days (or more) in advance if you wanted to the
current scenario where you can only see the next day. If you have the
premium membership, you can see further in advance as before. For my
purposes where I want to organise a (usually) Sunday walk for a group
of people - it's not convenient to wait until Saturday to see what the
weather is going to be like - so Metcheck ceased to be useful in it's
free incarnation.

Agree. It was reported at the end of last year that we could expected
severe weather, heavy snow, and this was for the south of the country. Snow
fell for a day on 29 Dec in South Hants, stayed a few hours then ventured
off down the drains!

My crampons and iceaxe are at short notice in the loft thought, awaiting a
substantial dump of the white stuff in the Lakes. Please be kind Mr Snow
machine above.

Perhaps this has been asked before, why can't the forecasts be plain
html instead of adobe?

The forecasts will be available in both PDF and online (HTML format)
within the next few weeks. We're also looking at the possibility of
distributing via WAP for mobile phone users.

Fantastic - means I'll be able to get the latest forecast while on the
hills via my Blackberry!

Please! I tried downloading the PDF onto a Treo600 in November, but it
crashed the PDFreader.
