Is www.bbc.co.uk/weather/ pretty much the best? 
Which site do you use for weather forecasts?

I usually use the BBC, but the Met Office is quite good too.

Yep you can't fault the BBC for their weather info. Nice, simple and straight to the point. Pretty much use them for everything these days, especially news and sport

BBC, Metoffice and wunderground.com
For up to the hour temps and Lightning strikes I use wetterzentrale.de

BBC most of the time.
www.metcheck.com isn't too bad - it seems more accurate than BBC a lot of the time

They also have forums which have people on there that seem to know better. The BBC have lost the plot some what when it comes to weather.

said yesterday was 22C nd sunny for my area.
Got temperature right, no sky could be seen. Just white clouds everywhere.
Also said today and the rest of the week would be very cloudy with some sun peeking through.
No clouds in sky, much hotter than yesterday and very sunny.

Sounds like a dish you would get from a takeaway or the name of the place.

They are computer generated forecasts so they change 4 times a day when each computer model comes through(same with BBC/Metcheck/met-office etc). No computer forecast is that accurate yet, granted netweather is among the best for them though.
If you want accuracy go and look at the forums on there there's some ex met-office forecasters and Michael fish will be making an appearance soon
Maybe i'm biased as i'm a mod over there, but you cannot beat human interpration of weather charts. There are so many different charts for different weather situations, although the computer makes these charts(most of them) they still cant forecast the weather that accurately yet.
