Live from the sky. Disputed by the cousins.

The Weather Row

Pick a place. Terry and Reggie look at the same live numbers and fall out over them, with the sea and the tides thrown in. The worse the weather, the more they argue. The better it is, the more suspicious they get.

About these numbers

  • Weather: live from Open-Meteo.com (data CC BY 4.0). Current conditions update at the source about every 15 minutes, and this page checks again every five.
  • Tides: worked out from a computer model of the sea, on a grid roughly 8 km wide. It is good for a rough idea, but it is not an official prediction and it can be well out near coasts, estuaries and harbours. For fishing, boats or anything that matters, use official tide tables.
  • The arguing: Terry’s and Reggie’s opinions are rules written by Reginald that react to the numbers on screen. Nobody is generating them live, and Terry has not read his lines.
  • Privacy: the place you search for, or your coordinates if you press “Use my location”, go to Open-Meteo to get the forecast. The last place you picked is remembered on this device only.
  • Safety: this is for fun and planning a walk, not for deciding whether to put to sea. Official warnings come from the Met Office.
