I know Darren uses this in his analysis, but I'm not sure how many
others know of this page & capabilities:-

http://www.meteociel.fr/modeles/gefs.php

but at first sight, the page appears to be of benefit to users in (or
interested in) France. However, if you click around *anywhere* on the
map, you will bring up (after a short delay) a plume diagram for that
point from the GFS Ensemble suite (or GFES), even if well away from
metropolitan France.

The default output shows:-
Temperature 850hPa
Temperature 500hPa
Precipitation (6hr accumulation)

covering the full 384 hour output.

However, use the menu bar at the bottom, to bring up the other output:

Pressure & Precipitation
ThetaE & CAPE
Temperature 2M (i.e. approx. screen temp)

and using the appropriate active link
(Passer à 0-180h)
you can concentrate on the first 180 hours (or 7.5 days-worth) of the
model output.

Using the "Dernier diagramme du run de" hot link, you can also display
previous runs, or all four runs on top of each other.

The *entire* site at:-
http://www.meteociel.fr/

is well worth playing around with - use the various menus at the
left-hand side.

That's a good one for those of us resident in France, thanks Martin

Looks like an interesting site. I hadn't come across it before. I note
that the max/min temperature charts currently on display include the
+26.5 and -8.8 reported from Hurn. The max/min colour shading even
manages to incorporate these values - copmputers can be too clever :-(

.... incidentally, you can also use the 'Europe' map, but I find after
a quick 'poke' around that either the resolution is poor, or the
software is mis-mapping the data points; for example, if you 'poke'
55N05W, the output is listed as for a point at 53.5N 04.0W.

Excellent Martin, it also shows *ALL* French data rainfall temps etc :-)

Map with current observations is interesting too - NW wind of 183 km/hr at
Plymouth !

Really an excellent site - graphs and tables of hourly readings at a large
number of places under "Tableaux horaires".
