Sea and Sky

Four Seasons in One Day

Links to some places that just might have an idea of what the seas, skies and midges are likely to be up to over the next few days...

    Wide area forecast for the mountains - with outlook.

  • UK Synoptic Charts
    The Met Office forecast charts covering the next three days
  • BBC Weather

  • Tide Times for Portree

  • Aurora Watch
    This site predicts the likelihood of being able to witness the Aurora Borealis - The Northern Lights.
