Shipping & inshore waters forecasts
The shipping forecast and the inshore waters reports.
These two services are provided by the Met Office; the Shipping Forecast is aimed mainly at professional sea users, along with the amateur sailing fraternity. The Inshore Waters forecast is aimed more at the general public, farmers, for whom weather conditions are important, and other people who live near the coastline and could be affected by adverse weather conditions.
The Shipping Forecast is split up into sea areas, 31 in total. The forecast is broadcast by the BBC at 0048 and 0520 (long wave and FM) 1201 and 1754 (normally long wave only). It always starts with the sea area known as Viking, which is located off the southwest coast of Norway. It continues in a clockwise direction describing the predicted weather information of the next sea area and so on, ending with South East Iceland. Click … here ,,, for the map of the sea areas
The Inshore Waters forecast contains the same information as the Shipping Forecast but in a less formal format, commensurate with its audience. The Inshore Waters forecast covers 19 areas, starting at the north east of Scotland and working its way around the coast of the UK in a clockwise direction, ending at the north west of Scotland. The Shetland Isles and Channel Isles are also included. Click …here… for the Inshore Forecast area map.
