Online weather forecasts

[Bill D (wwh)]

I know this has been discussed before, either in here or elsewhere, but I can't find the thread.

Until recently I had been using the BBC for daily and five-day forecasts, but recently they've fixed what wasn't broke and redesigned their pages. I now find that the main page that I'm interested in is slow to load, makes my temperature-sensitive CPU fan sound like an F1 racing car, and whereas the old page had everything I wanted on it I now have to follow various links to get all I need.

What online weather forecasts do others use, and how reliable do you find them?

I too use the BBC web site for 5 days forecast. Yes it has been redesigned but once you have your home town set as your weather homepage, I find it is no slower than it ever was.

I imagine you may have a faster processor or faster connection than I have, as it's a lot slower for me.

I use www.metcheck.com and www.netweather.tv. Both are reasonably accurate for a few days out but not particularly reliable beyond a week.

I have a piece of string fixed outside of the window.

If it's wet it is, or has been raining.
If it's wiggling about it's windy.



BBC or the Met Office

You forgot:

If you can't see it, it's foggy :lol:

I currently use the metoffice website and sometimes the Weather Channel (uk.weather.com), but will look at some of others listed here.

I've used Metcheck for years and found it mostly accurate, but also used Metoffice which is better for UK weather forecasts IMHO...
