Fridays Forecast

Output for Rattlesden (RAT) for Friday

The following graphs details the RASP atmospheric predictions for the date shown. This RASP forecast is for the Rattlesden BGA turn point location. Please be patient while the data builds from the latest live data

For Cu Potential, a positive number means there will be Cumulus clouds, a good day is typically around 1000 (or more).

On a good day, we need 10 degrees (or more) difference between the try temperature and dew point.

Ideally we do not want rain. A hint of a tenth of a millimetre means the air is fairly damp and the wet/dry temperatures will be close to each other.

Note that the 'Stars' forecast is experimental and based on original work by Paul Scorer.
