Unfortunately, yet again, the synoptic charts (in NetSurf) (isobars) are static, and do not respond to T+12, T+24 etc, nor to nudge up/nudge down. In fact, I haven't found any 'animated' Synoptic Charts that work on Netsurf. Yes, I know I can download the Non-javascript version, but that is not as easy to see the progression of the isobars, since all the graphs are displayed at once, and not animated in the same place. -- Cheers Roger Today is yesterdays tomorrow and it's already gone
