I recently discovered the isleofwightweather.co.uk website which offers a realtime storm tracker. This is a pretty cool service showing live strike types and locations.
The sotonmet, offers the current weather of interest to mariners with data from Southampton dockhead (close to the centre of Southampton). There is a related site just outside of Southampton water, on Bramble Bank: bramblemet. (note: at the time of posting these sites are down, probably due to unprecedented load from the Round the Island race this weekend)
