Weather Report For OLT - First 2 weeks of May

Postby scockburn » Wed 25 Apr, 2012 11:43 am

I'm headed down to do the OLT 3/5 for 9 days and then into SW Tassie for a week or so and wondered if I could get an accurate weather report ? I've been checking BOM and Weather Zone and will continue to do so but I would appreciate any more local info . Regards

As you likely suspect it just isn't going to happen. A couple of days out, reasonably accurate, a week gives an idea of weather patterns (that can move faster or slower) but beyond that is wishful thinking (for either forecasters or readers)

I guess you've found these:
