Thank you for using my site over the years. I am putting this button up here as my current hardware may need replacing soon as it is aging and showing signs of wear and tear. If you have frequently used the site and would like to help out, please click the donate button and make a contribution for the hardware and for this meteorologists. I have created these scripts and graphics over time and would love to keep supporting and adding stuff to this page. Any bit helps and is appreciated and motivates me to add more stuff :)

NAO Bar Graph  
Instantaneous 18z GFS predicted NAO values
