Which site do you use for weather forecasts?

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 :p
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. :)

Which mod are you? I only hang around there at winter, when i want to see if we are gonna get some snow!
 
I'd be Ross B :)

Winter rules, although it's not fun being a mod then.. :p

Aye, yes same forum name. Its quite strange seeing people from the same forum you visit using another forum you visit. The interclick aint that big!
 
Cheers for the websites, my dad is always complaining how inaccurate the bbc website is.
 
I use a combination of them and even then you can't trust them more than a day ahead for a detailed forecast..

I tend to check the BBC which is a bit optimistic and Metcheck which is a bit pessimistic but has a good breakdown in 3 hour slots.

As I'm normally concerned whether it will rain on a given day I check the excellent BBC predictive rainfall page then use the MET office rainfall radar to check if the rain is moving faster or slower than predicted. Works pretty well.
