Folks,

Anyone know of a good site that provides reasonably accurate weather
forecasts for the Greek Islands, especially the Ionians ?

Tony, try www.meteo.gr (National Observatory of Athens). The page is in
Greek but, as far as I can see, you can click on Corfu and Zakynthos for
local forecasts. Or, go directly to:

http://www.meteo.gr/cf.asp?city_id=5 (Corfu)
http://www.meteo.gr/cf.asp?city_id=13 (Zakynthos)
http://www.meteo.gr/cf.asp?city_id=9 (Cephalonia)
http://www.meteo.gr/cf.asp?city_id=85 (Lefkada)
http://www.meteo.gr/cf.asp?city_id=19 (Kythira)

The links above are all in Greek but you should find your way with the
dates, time, wind arrows and icons.

If it's sailing you're interested in, go to
http://www.meteo.gr/SailingMapF.asp and click on an area for winds direction
and speed.


English:

If you need model output maps, BOLAM and MM5 are available on
www.noa.gr/forecast (choose Greece for BOLAM on the left menu or MM5 and
then Greece for the MM5 model). SKIRON model outputs are available on
http://forecast.uoa.gr/forecastnew.html.

SKIRON meteograms for a variety of sites are available on
http://forecast.uoa.gr/forecastcity.html.

The HNMS provide with meteograms from their COSMO-LM model on
http://www.emy.gr/hnms/english/forec...t_region_html? (include the
question mark in the link).

Don't hesitate to contact me if you need more info.
