  1. Indeed that was pretty helpful! So, two follow up questions: Is there anywhere I can learn to read these forecasts myself so I can understand next Tuesdays forecast? Do they usually come with the cloud height as well as the base? Also, is there anywhere I can find more detailed information on the clouds - particularly what height they will go up to? The top of Mount Bulla is 1,805m, so I'm hoping the cloud will be below that!
  2. Hey, I live in Melbourne and I'm hoping to observe the transit of Venus across the sun that is happening next Tuesday. Unfortunately the weather has been dreadful for the past few weeks - overcast, with only occasional breaks in the clouds, and there is no reason to imagine that it will change any time soon. I've been thinking that perhaps on Tuesday I should go up a mountain to try and get above the clouds - but I'm not sure how high the clouds are. I figured that the aviation forecasts would have this information, and a bit of quick googling brought me to: http://www.bom.gov.au/aviation/forecasts/ttf/ which says: MELBOURNE (YMML) TTF SPECI YMML 300013Z 23005KT 3000 BR FEW001 OVC003 12/11 Q1036 RMK RF00.0/000.0 FM0013 28006KT 9000 -DZ HZ BKN005 FM0100 28007KT 9000 -DZ HZ BKN008 TEMPO 0013/0100 3000 -DZ BR BKN003 TEMPO 0100/0230 3000 -DZ BR BKN006 I think I may need a bit of professional help understanding that :-) What does it mean? Where is a good resource to find out how high the clouds will be on Tuesday, and where they will be? Any help would be greatly appreciated! - Luke
