These days I tend to just look out the window for the weather forecast, it never seems to do what the weatherman says!

With you there Flo. Met office are known as 'the liars' in this house.

I find uk.weather.com really quite accurate.. I've been through a lot of weather / data providers too when working on some software!

So do I

[Headfry]

Dont get me started on metcheck!!!!!!!!!! grrrrrrrr

We sail and grow veg, keep bees etc - we need to know about the weather.....metcheck!!!! Fantastic idea but they are so RANDOM with their forecasts.
Been using 'Sillycheck' for ages now and things such as full sun all day in May but a top temp of 9deg happen all the time. In fact 9deg at night, early am, midday, pm, and night again.....for the whole week???? WHAT dont think so!

see you got me started now........

PLUS, you will find that no one at MetCheek (yes, deliberate) works on a Bank Holiday, so the site is usually down, or just blank...

*Climbs on HF's soapbox...

Welcome Glutton 4 my box is large!

[Comfreyfan]

Is there room for more of us!!!

Actually it's not just Sillycheck - it seems to be all of them. We only live a few miles from the Met Office, you'd think they'd at least get the local weather right, but no. Also I can't understand why other sites say the forecasts come from the Met Office and then they're different. Presumably all forecasters are using the same information, so why are they all interpreting it differently and rarely getting it right.

Grrrrr - might feel better if it was sunny - like they said it would be last night - WRONG!

Seaweed, a barometer and a wet finger. Tells me everything I need to know.

When you've finished with your soap box, can I borrow it for storing me apples.
