My neighbours cut my hay and then we share it 50/50, which works well. Only trouble is it wasnt ready when we had the nice weather in June. The neighbours are going away on Tuesday for 2 weeks holiday so we either cut it today or leave it until the middle of August at the earliest.

Ive looked at weather.co.uk, metcheck and the met office. Are these the best sites do you think. Oh god I just want one that says uninterrupted sun until Sunday lol but none of them are

We use metcheck - it seems to be the most accurate. we live in a bit of a funny patch weather-wise because of the hills on 3 sides, and metcheck seems to take this into account. I could be wrong, but that's how it seems.
 
we also go by metcheck being a farmer my dad and his farmer friends have spent a number of years deciding which seems best and metcheck seems to be it!

We always rely on Metcheck, it's definitely the most accurate around here.

Ditto this!
 
I'm another metcheck fan, although I will confess to looking at about 6 different sites at this time of year and it does my head in! The particular hill I live on seems to have its own microclimate, which doesn't help the stress levels

Oh hell Metcheck says rain Saturday which is v v v v not good as we would want to bale Sunday. Aaaagh, I hate doing hay!
 
Agree with metcheck but all sites will say sun tomorrow (for instance) then change it to rain 1/2 hour later if information changes

Very frustrating but our country is thin and long and gets lots of weather

Just been looking at pics of the Royal Welsh and the showing rings were a quagmire - good luck!
