What weather site do you use?

[Supertrooper]

This time of year I seem to be constantly checking weather forecasts! Which site do you use/or which do you think is most accurate?

I tend to use met office but they don't always get it right. For example, I checked this am - no rain but windy and cold so I left rug off (he's unclipped) and now I've checked it's going to be heavy rain from lunchtime!!! Arghhh........

I used to like Metcheck but they have been plagued with a computer bug for ages so think I might delete them. So now I either use BBC weather centre for every day stuff

http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/

or http://ukweather.wordpress.com/ for more long range stuff

 

[Horsesgalore]

The BBC one. I find it fairly accurate but only for the next day or two. I ignore long range forecasts, they're so innaccurate

The window Right every time!

In saying that, I think I'm too harsh on weather websites, I always get disproportionately annoyed when they don't correlate with my exact location How very dare they!

I'm another vote for Accuweather - I like the 'Realfeel' temperatures.

 

[caramel]

I use www.netweather.tv, look on BBC essex aswell. Another vote though for Accuweather.

 

[Merry Crisis]

I use Metcheck, they have had problems with their site but they are back in working order now!

 

[GREYSMEADOW]

I find that uk.weather.com is pretty accurate and provides 'hour by hour' forecast and 'feels like temperature'.

Hope that helps.

I use the weather channel as gives an hourly forecast including wind speed. I'm obsessed with that as ponio hates the wind! Also use bbc for sunrise and sunset times. Used to use metcheck but deleted it recently as not been working for weeks.

The met office app on my phone.. I find it's usually pretty accurate for the current day... any further ahead and it usually changes a fair bit.. but that's probably just the nature of weather forecasting!

Metcheck (glad it's up and running again)
Local bbc weather forecast
Met office app.
Netweather - a long range weather forecast, which is reasonably accurate


ETA - just checked Metcheck And it's 'down' again......!

 

[Merry Crisis]

Metcheck has crashed again.

I use www.netweather.tv, look on BBC essex aswell. Another vote though for Accuweather.

another vote for Netweather - and I cross reference with the BBC each evening

I use Metcheck, they have had problems with their site but they are back in working order now!

Not working here for me

UMMM by far the best weather site is the ones that cross country pilots use, it gives you very good wind forecasts as well as temps/rain/snow etc and you can either get your nearest weather station or put in your own postcode. The postcode one goes up to a week ahead and is WAY more accurate than metcheck, accuweather, and bbc.

We live in the Cairngorm edges so really need to know this stuff so did a lot of research before concluding this one is the mutts!

I look out the front window to see what the weather is like, then look out the back window to see what's coming towards us. So far I've not been wrong!

 

[sakura]

met office consistently gets the temperature wrong, however their new beta site seems more accurate!

accuweather is brilliant for how cold it actually feels however they predict rain 99% of the time and it rarely rains anywhere near that often!

xcweather I find only good for wind speed/direction

and metcheck I find good for the actual temp

.... it's a nightmare lol

 

[Brontie]

Metcheck is by far the most reliable that ive found, back last year it was the only one who gave us an accurate idea of what snow fall to expect. Would really recommend them
