Default Re: 150 years of the Shipping Forecast

A lot of info' is contained in the short time that the forecasts take, I did the Yacht Masters exam and from a forecast which was read out you had to draw a chart showing all the isobars, wind speed and direction etc, and words which we use every day like 'soon' have a specific meaning, in this case within 6 - 12 hours.
