Just found night time weather forecasts for any area -enter postcode- don't know how accurate they will be.

Cool - Thks Sue - Can't be any less accurate than all the others - I like the way it has moon rise/ set times & planet visibility as well...

Yes, local rising/setting times info should be useful - forgot to mention that was on the page too.

Well right now it says -

Mostly cloudy with showers
Min 7°C / RealFeel™ 3°C.
Winds SSE at 17kph [11 mph]. Visibility 17km.
Cloud Cover 0%. Cloud Base 27800m.

Which is a bit of a contradiction, but we will see how it fairs.

Cheers Sue.
