 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
I'm off to Flaine and Saturday. I see the Chamonix weather forecast is, at last, offering some hope of change of weather. For Sunday next, it is forecasting that it will be "considerably colder" and has "snow showers". After rain/snow limits as high as 2000m, I take some heart from that word "considerably". But does anyone have access to longer term 10 day or 14 day forecasts?

check the Beginners guide to GFS forecasts sticky at the top of this forum for access to and explanations on longer forecasts.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I've checked those links. The difficulty I have is finding something that is more than 5 days out. The Ski Club site is quite good with 7 day forecasts but I'd like to get other sources. I can't find anything beyond 3 days on Meteo France for example.

Try again Stan  There is a ton of info in there and plenty of links for 2 weeks ahead of forecasts
The GFS links within that thread go out as far as the 29th Jan, eg this link for Engelberg

StanBowles, pack your thermals !
Flaine is reasonably well placed to get some snow on Sunday (at the moment doesn't look like a mega-dump but it should help) followed by a week of cold and unsettled weather.

kitenski, MrDan. Cheers. Metcheck is handy. The GFS site is a bit beyond me - some German on my part would help! Anyway, not to worry. What will be will be. I've never had anything other than a fantastic time in the mountains. The basic outlook is colder from Sunday with a bit of snow on Sunday and Tuesday but not a lot, I think.

StanBowles, that's not the GFS site, this is the GFS site: http://wwwt.ncep.noaa.gov/ (it's American ). The site above is a German one that's very good at collating weather info from various sources around the world.

FAQ
I think the general mood for longer term forecasts is that they are pretty ropey! It's nice to look at the 10 day forecasts or the 7 days forecast on
