CHILDREN can watch Santa fly through the night sky on Christmas Eve, thanks to an Island weather website.

As well as Island-wide weather forecasts it has a Santa Tracker, so youngsters can locate Father Christmas and monitor his progress towards the Isle of Wight online. It is the brainchild of meteorologist David Carrington, who lives in Wroxall with his wife, Emma, and six children.

He said: “We want to get the children in bed at a reasonable time and they know Santa won’t come until they go to sleep.

“It’s fun for kids but an aid for parents, too.”

The website is www.wroxall-weather.co.uk
