I don't know about ECMWF, the Met-Office have made a right pigs-ear of
theirs.

Not to mention the fact that they couldn't forecast the 'Potential for
Tornadic' activity last Wednesday over Southern Counties, when a
certain armature forecaster by the name of Bono's Ego ©, was able to
forecast the potential at 19:00hrs the night before from looking at the
charts.

But can you image the media hype if the Met Office actually issued a
tornado warning. The country would come to a standstill, supermarkets
selves would be emptied. My guess is they'd internally predicted the
likelihood of tornadoes and hope if tornadoes do form they won't hit a
populated area.

Image the Daily Express headline, I'd bet it would include the phrase
'Death Storms'

Only if it's Yahweh/Jehovah/Elohim/YHWH/Allah, the Abrahamic god of
Judaeo-Christian-Islamic religions.

God with a small 'g' refers to all the other thousands of gods that
humans have worshipped over the years.

Not necessarily. He knows who he is. And false reverence started as a
means for the false and the foolish to avoid using god's name. He does
actually have a name, that is given with a capital letter as per proper
nouns.

Having issued us with a programme manual on how to use him to our best
advantage, he would have enter such clauses specifically would he not,
if that was a requirement?

But as for the OP.

It is a useful site if I can find out how to open a grib file:
http://data.ecmwf.int/data/d/era15/

Pity it doesn't have sea level pressures as they are the only things I
can understand.
