All-important for excursions of any kind into mountains anywhere, the weather forecast has to be the first thing to check. Here are the best weather information sites, gadgets, widgets (whatever you want to call them) and webcams for the Picos de Europa.

This first one is from Meteo Mountain Services and based on Naranjo de Bulnes in the Central Massif but pretty much applicable to the whole of the Picos de Europa. Visit their website for much more detail;

This next live feed is indispensible for checking winter conditions and is updated every four hours.

And one from Meteored.com, a highly interactive Spanish weather site with great photos and a busy forum. This prediction is for Cangas de Onís in Asturias to the west (Hoy = today)...

Finally, a link to the webcam at Fuente De, handy for checking out cloudbase levels during inversions too. Note, this image is not live!
