Fantasy Island (FI) in weather circles refers to the period in which accuracy for weather models remains low. This period usually begins post 96-12 hours.

Please take any charts you see here with a massive pinch of salt (or grit) as they re highly likely to materialise. They do materialise the odd time and therein lies the problem with FI charts and the carrots they can dangle in front of you if you are looking for a specific type of weather setup.

Seems that fantasy may well become a reality, albeit a little closer in time :D
