[size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][b]Summary[/b] The deep freeze has been controlling the weather over the continent and the Alps for some time, however there are signs of it turning a little bit less cold and perhaps milder by the end of next week. Generally conditions are good, both in terms of the snow and sunshine, however it will be very cold to at least start the week.[/font][/size] [url="http://www.netweather.tv/index.cgi?action=skicentre;sess="]http://www.netweather.tv/in

Alps Ski And Weather Forecast 14th January

[b]Summary[/b] After some remarkable snowfalls over the Alps over the past month, it should be a quieter week weather wise, it should be mostly dry with plenty of sunshine. There will always be a NE/SW split, always colder in Austria ,and very cold to start, and always less cold the further SW you go, but bitterly cold overnight throughout. However with all sunshine it should be a great skiing week, however there may be an avalanche risk in some areas, so beware this. More Details as ever

Alps Ski And Weather Forecast 6th January

[b]Summary[/b] There has been further heavy snow across higher parts of the Alps leading to bumper conditions in many places, further snowfall is also likely in many places for the next few days. Thereafter it is likely to turn sunny and warm, great conditions for skiing, but not good, for the snow pack, so some thawing is likely and there may be an avalanche risk.

Alpine Winter 2011-12 Look Ahead

This is the first in a series of blogs looking at the Snow and Skiing conditions for the Alps for winter 2011-12. A cursory look at the webcams across the Alps will show that snow levels are currently on recent at this early stage, and that temps over the Alps have been milder than normal so far in November. As an example the following table shows maximum temps for Zermatt (1600m - Switzerland) and Salzburg (450m - Austria), this only gives a snapshot, but it can be seen that Temps are mil

V6 Radar + Atd Lightning On The Way

It's been a while since we had any major news about the radar, so I thought today would be a good time to share some with you.. In short, although the V5 version of the radar is still fairly new and in it's final beta phase, we've decided to jump straight on to V6 and are currently working hard to put that in place. The new system will use the same mapping and zooms as V5 but will use newer technology to allow us to bring a number of new features - including many of the most requested ones f

What Have We Been Up To?

[color=#1C2837][size=4]It's been a little while since the last update on our blog (must do better!), so I thought now would be a good time to give an update on what we've been up to behind the scenes, and some info on what we've got planned as we close out the summer and move toward autumn and winter. The main thing we've been working on is a move to new servers, which barring a few bits and pieces is now complete. You may remember we also moved to new servers last year but unfortunately it

Into 2011 - Looking Back & Forward

Firstly, a very happy new year to everyone - hopefully 2011 will bring everything that you want it to! 2010 was a very good year for Netweather, not least because we reached a real milestone during December, and that was the fact that 1 million different people used the site for their weather forecasts, discussion, charts, news and info during the month - the first time that we'd reached the magic million mark in a single month! Throughout the year we continued to work hard to improve and

Winter Approaches..

With the first signs of a cold snap on the forecasting models today, and the first sign of a frenzy building in the model discussion thread, it's clear to see that Winter is most definitely not far off!! To mark this fact, a number of new features will be going live on Netweather over the next couple of weeks. Firstly the Christmas forecast will be making it's comeback for 2010 this week, and that in turn will bring the full return of the Winter area for another year. At the same time Netweat

The full, technical version of the Winter forecast will also be online

Winter Forecast...

We've had some many people enquiring this week about the upcoming Winter and wondering when the Winter forecast is going to be released, it's clear that after last year there is an incredible amount of interest in whether this Winter will be cold again... The full Winter forecast will be made online very shortly now, and as last year it's been written by Stewart Rampling and the full, detailed version of it will be freely available for everyone to read.

Preparing For Winter!

Lots of work going on behind the scenes here at Netweather HQ at the moment to prepare for the Winter season. Obviously with Winter comes additional traffic to the site, so we're adding another server to the cluster currently (taking us up to 6 servers now), and because of the changes we made to our setup earlier in the Summer we'll be able to add further servers to cope with demand at relatively short notice throughout. We've also got a packed out development schedule with new additions a
