Update on the previous comment:
Tim West of www.meteorologica.co.uk, author of the WeatherFlash software, has agreed to add a marine version of the Beaufort Scale panel to the "wish list" of items for inclusion in a future re-write. I also suggested the panel should include the wind speed range in knots for each Force, which several people have said they'd like to see. (I thought we all knew them off by heart ...  )

Yes indeed, it would be a good idea, but unfortunately I have no control over the format of that particular table and as far as I know there isn't a marine version available in the WeatherFlash package. It would be a matter of contacting the author of the software and suggesting he add one, which I'm happy to do. I imagine that the vast majority of the private weather stations which run the software are more land- than sea-orientated.

Hi Peter
Dont you think it might be a good idea to have the sea effects table of the Beaufort scale? if not in place of the land version (not too many trees at sea) or at least alongside the land lubbers windage table.

Looks much neater and I particularly like the way you can now see the current weather without having to scroll down.

Hi Peter.
I like the new look RNSYC NET, I find that it is easier to read. Thank you, for all that you do for the Club.

New humidity sensor installed today. Outdoor humidity, dew point and cloud base height now recording normally.

Peter, It's a constant problem - and not only on websites. Victorian writers were perhaps the worst - if they didn't know the answer they just made it up as they went along. Checking everything just makes life more difficult and no-one gets it all right.
I find it remarkable that the clubhouse survived two World Wars intact - particularly when you consider that not only the old pavilion was hit but also several of the large houses down the Esplanade and one or two in Cleveland Road. Some while ago someone told me that the white RN Ensign that flew over the clubhouse during WW1 was hanging in a church somewhere in the Midlands. I can remember when I was told - but not who told me or the name of the town, beyond a vague recollection that it was somewhere like Sutton Coldfield. Irritating things memories.
Commodore Ellison 'lent' the club the letter box made from a German WW1 torpedo hat sits on its own table on the first floor rotunda. It may well be he 'lent' the church his white ensign. Fifty or so years ago, the Ellison family asked for the return of the torpedo - but didn't get it!

The weather station's humidity sensor is currently out of action, also affecting the calculation of dew point and cloud base height. I am investigating the fault and have the matter in hand.

Thanks for the correction Jamie. This item was prompted by a photo of the Pavilion posted on the 2008 Squib Nationals website, the caption to which appeared to be saying that it was of the old RNSYC clubhouse! The incorrect info about the Pavilion's demise in WW2 was on another website. Moral: beware of fiction masquerading as fact when surfing the worldwide web.

Close. The old Pier Pavillion was hit by the Imperial German Navy in 1916 - but damage was internal. It was being used at the time as Commodore Ellison RN's Lowestoft HQ. This lovely old building began to be demolished in 1953 to make way for the extraordinarily ugly replacement. Jamie
