I also use metcheck- they're usually different

Thanks Nicos, I want to see what the weather is doing next week, got next week off work and I'm hoping to clear the lottie.

**Nicos** · 15-10-2009, 12:49 PM

Now you've gone and done it...it's bound to rain!!!

**becky250970** · 15-10-2009, 12:55 PM

Don't say that

Otherhalf signed for the lottie on Tuesday and I couldn't get any time off sooner so I've not been yet (apart from an inspection to make sure he was meeting my standards)

The weekend is supposed to be fine according to the beeb.

Yeah I like Metcheck too, good luck with the lottie

I use Met Office - not sure if that is what the others are referring to as Met Check?

**Birdie Wife** · 15-10-2009, 03:33 PM

It's different Piskie - this is the Metcheck site. If you put your postcode in the search box, they'll give you the weather in 3-hour intervals for the next 24 hours, or less detail up to 14 days away. Not sure if it's actually more accurate, it feels more accurate though

I tend to use the BBC rainfall satellite site in conjuction with the Metcheck site.

I consulted one this morning [BBC], which told me it was sunny spells so I put a wash on.

It hasn't stopped raining since.

Nice.

The cows across the road have more of an idea than the BBC weather website.

I always find looking out the window quite helpful too

**SarzWix** · 15-10-2009, 05:07 PM

I use the BBC rarely, Metcheck all the time, and weather.co.uk as back-up. It makes no odds really - the weather stations they base their forecasts on, and it's distance from you is what makes the difference. The one they use for my area is 10 miles East of me - if the wind is blowing from the East I get the right forecast, if it's blowing from the West it's usually wrong

Another vote for Metcheck here!

**zazen999** · 15-10-2009, 06:09 PM

I've just checked metcheck and it looks okayish - quite windy and some sunny spells as the bird on the local tv weather is telling me it will be glorious tomorrow.

Hmm.......

always use met check and find it fairly accurate.
Also like the fact that the day is broken down into 3 hour chunks.
