Movingweather's revolutionary new weather forecasting software enables you to view an animated, up to date local weather forecast for anywhere in the World from anywhere in the World on your own laptop or desktop PC. So much so that many of our customers would not wish to be without it.
To quote from Robert Holbrook MD of Admiral Marine Insurance, "I found Moving Weather to work very satisfactorily even using a slow Iridium link. I sailed from Antigua to Grenada and the forecasting was spot on!"
Kevin Butler at Cobbs Quay Berth Holders Association says "Whilst visiting the Channel Islands last year we were pleased to find a new type of weather forecast to complement the paper ones. It was watched by many and proved to be a solution to a problem that I had been trying to overcome since the termination of MetWebb. This new approach for weather forecasting in marinas and at home gave me the picture I required for extended cruising.
Movingweather has given me that incite to plan with confidence, its simple to use program features and a one off subscription allows me to get the animated forecast whenever and wherever I want. Updateable at my convenience and accurate, the boating public and perhaps all marinas should consider this modern approach. It is a valuable additional resource for me to make informed passage planning weather decisions."
Richard Foster, Skipper of Swan 112/001 "anemos" says "We've used movingweather's service now for 2 years and it's brilliant. The software is simple to use with easily understood grapohics and very accurate forecasts. We cruise Northern Europe, the Meditteranean and the Caribbean, and have tried lots of routing services over the years. I rate movingweather the best and very good value for money."
Roger Binley says "I am delighted with Moving weather found it easy and very quick to use. Long range forcast is as accurate as any other but much quicker, no time wasted in finding provider for the area you are in. The email function is also very easy to use and saves considerably when on Satellite phone. "
Dick Turnbull, another long standing customer, say "I purchased Movingweather for 2 reasons; the first was for a reasonably accurate 7 day forecast (including pressure maps, wind speeds etc) for work – I run 3 climbing and outdoor activities shops in the Peak District and weather is a crucial determinant of how busy we may be and many of our customers want an idea from us as to what the weather is going to do over the next few days – and secondly for my personal use sailing, usually off the W coast of Scotland. In 2006 I sailed to N Norway with a crew of climbers and we found the fact that we could get a Movingweather forecast for up to 7 days to the areas where we were going to be i.e. the Norwegian Sea, all the way up the Norwegian coast etc (no decent weather forecasts available in English) in a manner which helped me to understand what was happening – pressure charts etc – proved to be greatly helpful and incredibly useful in planning where and when to go. Leaving Shetland with a 7 day forecast for a potential 5 day voyage was very reassuring and very accurate! When in the Lofoten Islands we saw a 36 hour gap in the weather coming which enabled us to sail to Norway’s national mountain, Stetind, and climb it before the rain re-established itself over the area. Without checking Movingweather regularly we would have missed this ‘gap’ and missed the chance of completing the objective of our voyage.
This year we are sailing to the Faroes and I am relying on Movingweather to help us plan our day to day sailing decisions, particularly on the return trip where we may have trouble in getting useful forecasts that we can understand! I use Movingweather regularly and find it reliably accurate as long as you use common sense and expect less accuracy the longer the forecast time. The confidence that having a graphic weather forecast gives is significant and well worth the money!"
