My Howl about the GWX weather

Brag · 03-03-07, 09:52 AM

Endless rough seas, low visibility (won't mention rain) going on forever, seem ok and normal for North Sea and North Atlantic north of latitude 40N.

Having the same conditions of endless crappy weather around Canaries, Gibraltar, Azores is not realistic. I did a bit of a cruise toward Freetown and heavy rain was present throughout the trip (this jaunt was brought to a halt by a power failure).

Certainly one gets bad weather in the lower latitudes. But, these are short lived storms, often localized thunderstorms and violent squall lines that don't last very long. So far, my global experience with GWX is limited, so I could be wrong and simply had bad luck with the weather.

Wouldn't it be possible to have better weather random factors for different areas of the GWX universe?

I hope some of our great moders will respond.

Have you tried Sh3 weather mate?

Am not sure it is GWX related, the weather system in SH3 has always been a concern.
Can't say more on this as I have not been in many places in GWX yet (in the Med so far had mostly nice weather), but my NYGM/SH3 Weather install is not too bad, I get frequent weather changes...
