Niton and Cullercoats are very difficult to receive in the southern part of the North Sea – can I get forecasts in English by any other means?
Yes. Forecasts for Dogger, German Bight, Humber, and Thames prepared by the KNMI are broadcast via the NAVTEX station Den Helder [P] in the Netherlands – slot times at 0230 and every four hours. The bulletins, in English, contain a 12-hour forecast and a 12-hour outlook and are updated twice a day. Gale warnings are also included in the above broadcast for the above areas and also for the additional areas Dover, Fisher, Forties and Viking.
