To go skydiving, you obviously need good weather and low winds so that you don't land miles away from the dropzone. Skydivers tend to be rather particular about the weather forecast that they look at. They tend to have their favorite one and simply ignore what the others say, even though theirs might say that it's going to be sunny and all the rest say it is going to be pissing it down with rain.

The site now provides a 5-day forecast in the top right corner of the screen. Just hover your mouse over the images for more details on the weather for the particular day. The first image relates to the current conditions, the second image for tomorrow and so on. The weather data for the forecast is grabbed from weather.com.

There are plenty other sites out there to get the weather forecast from and here are links to a couple of the most used and I'd like to say the most accurate one, but we all know that thats not true...
