Re: How's the weather?

I tend to not follow BOM much as they like to chop and change.
We still use our old boats barometer to get an accurate read of the weather. The air pressure here is currently sitting at 1030 and steady signifying the dry heat.
After living aboard for several years we would predict patterns in advance and didn't rely on BOM.
A fast falling barometer usually meant time to batten down, even living a long way from the coast we still like to follow the old seafaring advice.
First rise after low, foretells a strong blow.
With the rain before the wind top sails you must closely mind but with the wind before the rain top sails you may set again.
Long foretold long last, short notice soon past.
Mackeral skies and Mare's tails, make tall ships carry small sails.
When the porpoise jumps, stand by your pumps
not that there's too many porpoise's nearby here.
