TopMeteo Soaring Weather Now Available for United States Region

Signed up for an account at TopMeteo.com, successfully got the maps. Upgraded SeeYou to 8.03, put in a task. Then put my username into the TopMeteo box, and it retrieved my account. But the data download only partially completed, then stopped with an error. Exited SeeYou, tried again, same result.

Is anyone else having this problem?

PS - on TopMeteo.com the Site Forecast is in SI units, while the wind speed on the charts is in kts and the altitude is in feet. Does anyone know how to make the data consistently be in Imperial units?

That was quick!!! SeeYou just issued version 8.03 and my above stated problems disappeared, thanks. Looks like this will become a new must-have tool for serious OLC pilots and contest tasking.

Signed up with topmeteo, upgraded seeyou, and restarted. Then, went into topmeteo, filled out my location, and it popped up the weather.

I, too, wish for imperial measurements vs metric. In there somewhere...

Just as a data point, TopMeteos forecast today was much bluer than actual. They had the boundary of the cu field just east of my course line, when it ended up being well West of my course, until the end.

Because of that the predicted flight distance was significantly low.

DR Jacks NAM was pretty good on the cloud field today. The RAP was also too dry.

Like any tool you have to learn how to use it. I'm looking forward to using top meteo to maximize my distance this spring.

Can't wait to get home and update SEEYou. I also had been having trouble downloading the top meteo weather.
