MandaNShannon Posted February 17, 2015 #1 Share Posted February 17, 2015 We are cruising to New Caledonia in a few days. (March 2nd) from Sydney. I have looked on Google for weather forecast/warnings. With not much luck. Each site says something different, I am wondering if anyone knows of a reliable site?

Opua Kiwi Posted February 18, 2015 #4 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Each site says something different, I am wondering if anyone knows of a reliable site? Different sites may use different computer modeling, so it pays to use a few if it's going to be a bad TS or Cyclone. I use this one a bit. http://www.tropicalstormrisk.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GandM-nq Posted February 18, 2015 #5 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Can try the US Navy tracking site. http://www.nrlmry.navy.mil/TC.html Bit hard to navigate and no idea what it all means, but try these buttons: Left hand column. See Southern Hemisphere. atm there are 4 storms listed below this. These are the storms being tracked by them that are in the southern hemisphere. Click on 13P Thirteen. (this is TC Marcia). Page for that system comes up. Click on map for enlargement. The track looks similar to the BoM site. I have previously seen TC storms in northern hemisphere on this site where there are multiple tracking algorithms used (like 12-15 different trackings from all the various formulas that other countries use. Interesting). Guessing there is only BoM that does modelling for this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandaNShannon Posted February 18, 2015 Author #6 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Thanks so much everyone for all your help. I'm so worried that we are going to hit a cyclone. I've had this cruise booked for almost 12 months. And have not been concerned until the cyclone that formed a few days ago off QLD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cporses Posted February 18, 2015 #7 Share Posted February 18, 2015 If the weather is still a tad rough, the ship will vary it's course and schedule as necessary to avoid any really nasty stuff. The TC called Marcia will be long gone by then. Sent from my tablet thingy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opua Kiwi Posted February 18, 2015 #8 Share Posted February 18, 2015 . And have not been concerned until the cyclone that formed a few days ago off QLD I use this site a lot. Reasonable accuracy up to about 7 days out. Select different regions, once displayed selecting an individual chart will expand the size. As cporses says, too early for any assessment yet, plus your Capatin will steer clear of anything bad. I tend not to worry about things I can't control. http://www.metvuw.co.nz/forecast/forecast.php?type=rain®ion=swp&noofdays=10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Kruzer Posted February 18, 2015 #9 Share Posted February 18, 2015 The NZ Met service also has maps for the Pacific areas. As said above ,its a very big area to cover so as to the accuracy...????? http://www.metservice.com/warnings/home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwil111 Posted February 19, 2015 #10 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Looks like Rhapsody is heading in to some wild weather. This Queensland itinerary is my favourite cruise. Hope they manage to duck around the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
