    Weather websites

    Whats the best websites to look at for the weather in advance? When we had snow a couple of weeks back, the website I used didnt mention it for my area until 2 days before. I only knew in advance from on here when others mentioned that snow was on the way a week earlier.

    What sites do you all swear by?

    I use http://www.metcheck.com, you just type in your postcode. It even gives gardening weather under the hobbies section.

          I use our local weather forecasting professional based on Fair Isle. I know its not any use for you. But it is VERY accurate, so if you can find someone local to you who has a website updated each day, that might be your best bet. BBC and others for our area are pretty hopeless!

            Thanks for that Bex - I found the BBC one to be quite wrong on occasions! Have put the metcheck one into my favourites! Bernie aka Dexterdog

              I use Metcheck and this one http://uk.weather.com/
              Between them, I find it quite accurate. metcheck seems to be a bit pessimistic about temperatures, but very accurate for timings.

                All of them seem to be a bit random but I tend to believe which ever one gives the best forecast!!!! Seriously though, I'd have thought that they all got their info from the Met office so I can't understand why there are so many differences, even between local and national news on the same TV channel.

                Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

                Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

                  Thanks for those suggestions. I am now trying to find a local forecaster as suggested by Jennie, no joy yet, but will keep trying.

                  I can never figure why the forecast is so different to each other!
