allowed to be accessed.We would be gratefull if anyone can post the
forecast for balearics ,or palos ,or any other forecast for the area
in a message here ,so we can have an indication of what to expect.we

a passage to sardegnia.

If you had satellite TV, you could watch the Americas Cup from Valencia and
judge the weather from that. The commentators seem to be able to forecast
well ahead. Scotland is basking in bright sunshine at the present time, but
there is a large low centred over Spain, with occluded fronts extending
towards the Balearics, and an occluded front over Italy. Last night's match
between Manchester United and AC Milan was an absolute washout.

There is a massive high in mid-Atlantic which is causing the lows to slide
southwards towards the Med. You may get a gap in a couple of days time, but
after this the weather will deteriorate again.

Spain is shown on all the European weather maps as the worst place to be for
the next couple of days.

Looking at the isometric chart for the area, I would wait a couple of days
before leaving. You may be able to view this at

I'll reply to my own post a few times a day until you tell me to stop,
George, or I don't hear from you any more. Just a simple reply thanks
will tell me you are still seeing these forecasts and want the next one
will do. I'll find out the sked it shows up on the internet and try to
do it ASAP in this thread. Is this what you're looking for?

I'd be happy to attach the met weather chart to these messages, only
about 40KB gif files from Weatherweb.net if noone will bitch at me for
posting binaries, but I'm sure it would set off a flamewar.
