The study assesses the accuracy of 24-hour weather forecasts on the Klaipeda (Lithuania) - Bayonne (France) navigational route emitted in NAVTEX system. There were analysed the parts of the forecasts concerning wind direction and force, visibility and precipitation. The verification was based on the real state of these factors, stated the next day on areas concerned. A high degree of forecast accuracy was stated in all five broadcasting stations of the NAVTEX system, particularly with reference to visibility and precipitation.
