MWIS Site Revamped

MWIS, the excellent Mountain Weather Information Service, has begun a rolling redesign of its web site with more improvements promised.

The most obvious change so far is a funky new logo for the site - right - which is now fully funded by the Scottish Government as far as Scottish forecasts go, but that's just the start.

In the next few weeks, the site will also get a clickable area map to help you select the correct forecast, availability of the forecasts online as well as in downloadable PDF form and access for internet-enabled mobiles and PDSs, which should be invaluable on the hill, on a multi-day wild camping trip for example.

We've found the MWIS forecasts to be consistently the most relevant and reliable for hill-goers with week-round Scottish forecasts, six days a week Lakes ones and Thursday to Saturday forecasts covering the weekend for Snowdonia and the Peak.

Good stuff. See www.mwis.org.uk.
