Default Weather forecasts
Hi all,
I've just been given this link to a weather forecast site, it seemms quite detailed but easy to use, I've no idea if its any more accurate than seaweed or Peter Gibbs. I'm just impressed that it has the nerve to forecast 1.8 mm rain by 18.00 hrs.

Give it a try http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/

Hello Compostman, yes I use Metcheck as a weather forecast site. I find them very accurate for rainfall and times at which events will happen - rain, sunshine etc, BUT they always seem to err on the low side for temperatues by several degrees. I know other grapes use this site. Anybody else noticed the low temperatures.
