Weather forecasts ?

[cessna]

Just wondering which weather forecasts you have a look at ,and how accurate are they.

This one is from "The Farming Forum",subject Weather ;-

Weatherweb TV

Met office for me. At the end of the day they provide most of the information and others just interpret it. At least that's my understanding.

Simons forecasts are accurate and very informative. I tend to fall asleep halfway through though. (no offense to Simon)

 

I want to know what the hell a "weather bomb" is that everyone is talking about.

It is winter, we get winter storms, it is normal not a frigging bomb for goodness sake!

BBC Weather - What is a weather 'bomb'?

Usually when they predict a weather 'bomb' over here, we get a bit of drizzle and enough wind to make the washing line turn round a bit.. Then out of no where with no prediction we get a massive storm uprooting trees.. I'm giving up looking at forecasts more than a day in advance.. It was meant to rain all this week and we've had about 10mm last night and thats it!

Net weather is good rain radar let's you track rain.

Mix it between the Met. Office, XC Weather and when in Cumbria, the Felltop Forecast.

NONE!! they cant predict yesterdays weather let alone the future. Wake up , look out the window, thats the weather forecast. At 6 o clock today the forecast on the net for my area tomorrow was sunshine and dry all day. The itv with Amanda houston said heavy rain??????????

I have used Windguru for years and found it to be the most accurate after comparing various forecasts with what actually happened.

 

Although it is aimed at sailing and watersports , hence the inclusion of wave heights etc, it also covers inland areas. It is available as a free site although you can subscribe and get access to more information.

 

It predicts the weather in 3 hours segments for the next few days and it has a useful colour coding system so it is easy to see at a glance how windy/wet it will be.
