Welcome to Cowes Harbour

Use this website to check out the current wind and weather off Cowes and the surrounding Solent area before travelling

Welcome to www.cowesharbourweather.com a recent service provided in July 2006 for local sailors and harbour users who would like to know what current conditions to expect in the sailing waters off Cowes and in the Solent, prior to leaving home or office for the day for leisure and racing etc.

Weather Station instruments are located on Calshot Spit and record ACCURATE real-time wind and weather conditions across the Solent area. Data is Live, (it is updated every three seconds).

For new users... as well as viewing the instrument dials, trends can be seen by clicking your left mouse button when the description writing is highlighted. Eg. Over the barometric pressure, click your mouse and the 24hr trend will appear...put your mouse pointer over the wind direction writing and the wind direction trend showing veering or backing can be seen..... etc.

Being a "Live" weather site, local effects, those caused by topography, currents and temperature are immediately taken into account.
