Weather in the Kenley & North Surrey Area
This page contains links to weather Forecasts and Actual Observations that should allow you to decide if the weather will be suitable for visual observing tonight. The data is biased towards the Croydon & North Surrey (England) area where most of our members observe from. The data is divided into the sections shown below, some references need a background in Meteorology and there are links to sources of background information. If you know of any other sources of relevant weather information please send the details to our webmaster.
The postcode of The Kenley Observatory is CR5 or CR6 for those sites that require a location
Caution - some of the times are in UTC (which approximates to GMT) which is one hour behind clock time (BST) in the Summer
The panel below summarises the Kenley weather for the next few days - details of how to interpret the symbols are on the links below. (Chart may take a few seconds to load)
A guide to the symbols is available in PDF alternatively more detailed documentation is available here. Details of twilight times, a quick guide to the symbols and the time of the next update to the forecast can be found on the APanel site here.
