A general question for the board.... What wind websites do you use to get your info on local conditions.

Here in CHCH I use www.howisit.co.nz which although costs me $55 bucks a year is a very good, has 6 local stations, is highly available, updated every 3 mins during the day, and reasonably accurate too.

Alternatively I sometime use www.windnet.co.nz which is free, updated every 5 mins, but only has 4 out of their 6 stations working, and the granularity of the reading data is not so good, (no reading for ENE or SSW)

www.wind.co.nz also now has free data, but it only has 3 CHCH based wind stations, (one at the airport... :? ), and they don't get updated quite so often.

So.... What sites do you use....?
