NEW: Fishing Weather Charts

Hi All

I've been wanting to create better fishing weather forecasts for some time and designed some new charts.
Check them out on the main fishing times page

You can switch between temperature, barometric pressure, wind speed and direction, humidity and cloud cover.
The forecasts are for 7 days and have a 3 hourly resolution.

I think they are quite useful to quickly gauge fishing trends for the next few days.
For example to check if the pressure is on the rise and if it will be nice and calm on an upcoming good fishing day.

The forecasts are for your selected Location and they'll show in Celsius/Farenheit/Kmh/Mph depending on your display settings.

Planning to also add more chart selections for tide times and fishing times soon.

Hope you guys like it.

And as always - any feedback or suggestions are much appreciated.

Happy Fishing

Looks good Mark.

Data must be correct, cos where I am now is in drought and your chart says bugger all rain for the next 7 days :)

One suggestion thou...The white text is not good on that light blue background. Black text might be better. Especially along the base where it says "mist" "fog" etc.

Cheers

Hi mate, thanks for the feedback.

Good suggestions, I'll play around with the text colours a bit and see if I can come up with something more readable.

It doesn't say mist or fog anywhere though... :D

The very bottom line with the moon, sun, clouds etc...also has mist and fog...

Hang on, you are looking at your location. Try mine, Warwick QLD. 😉

ah - I see. You meant the icons. I thought you actually had the words on your screen and couldn't
read them properly because of the text color. ;)

Yeah.

But all that white text too...If you look at the day line in my screen shot, see the "Mon" is in black. Now compare that to the temps in the light blue bars above it. The "Mon" is clear and easy to read, while the temp numbers are tending to fade into the light blue background.

It is only a minor cosmetic thing...and it might just be me...but, hey, no electrons will be killed if you try 😊

hahaha - you never know about those electrons...
can't change the text color on the icons unless I design my own icons.
but can play around with the text color on the bars and other elements.
