most accurate weather forcast site

Has anybody found a site that tends to be accurate most of the time?

So far, its going to be hot and sunny all day to pi$$ing it down, depending on what site you look at.

Don't take any notice of Sky news weather ! My mate went to Rome last month and according to Sky it was torrential rain all that week in Rome. My mate got back and said it had been scorching the whole time with not one drop of rain.

Put your postcode in and hey presto. But you know any forecast is not always spot on. xx

No site is going to be accurate, it will change as you get nearer the day. And how can you tell they are not accurate till the day? Maybe its not a case of being accurate but that you aren’t happy with what the weather might be :-)

I was told that most forcasts come from the Metoffice. If thats so why do ITV and the BBC often make totally different forecasts, and you get something entirerly different again on sky and the net.
If its all from the same sorce then the Met couldn't forecast a p*ssup in a brewery.

I use the BBC and www.metcheck.com ...there's a free version available.

However, these two often contradict each other so much that it's better to look out of the window to see if the cows are standing up or lying down !!!!!

Just type in your postcode and click on the 24 hr,5 or 7 day forecasts on the left side

I found this to be the most effective way of predicting the weather:

It's not much help to you in your present situation...predicting the weather somewhere else five days ahead...but one of the best in general terms is to say:

"Tomorrow's weather will be much the same as today's has been."

You'll be right two days out of three and that's not much less accurate than what you'll hear on TV forecasts! Check it out.
