I'd be wanting to know the source and reliability of the weather modeling used.

Different models give entirely different predictions. On one recent coral sea passage a model used by one weather source said strong winds whereas the model used by Australian meteorologist and their local knowledge had it as calm to 10 knots which is what we had.

Various internet weather sites would say one thing, looking out the window showed something completely different.
