Weather For The 24Th August Please

[josaphine32]

I know this should be in weather, but do you actually go in there, if it is not in recent posts?, can anyone give me a website that will give more than 5 days web page, I have tried met office, and bbc, I have a mad 7 days ahead, and really need to know what to pack, only going to reading, but do not want to over or under pack, I hate sleeping in a tent and cold, but hate lugging things I do not need, x thankyoux

I don`t think anyone can accurately predict the weather that far in advance but I always use theweather.com (it will default to ukweather).

Anything forecast for 10 days ahead is likely to continue to change each day until you get to the 22nd, when it is likely to be quite accurate. Sorry!

Its a Bank Holiday weekend.......it will snow.

I use accuweather.com. Fairly reliable in my experience.

[gingejbee]

Eccles: even TEN days ahead?

The BBC do give more than a 5 day forecast but you have to click on the "Further ahead" tab

mier: yes, but, at 10 days, nobody can accurately forecast the weather in the UK.

I did not comment on accuracy. josaphine posted that she sought a web site that would give more than 5 days' forecast.

[boxtops]

Even the Met Office doesn't guarantee weather more than 5 days ahead, these days.....

[EcclesCake]

I did caveat my answer with 'fairly'! On the whole accuweather doesn't predict glorious sunshine and then reality turns into 36hrs of non stop rain. As a small island weather predictions are perilous but I'd rather take a lead for accuweather than the BBC any day!

[rowanwitch]

Metcheck and TWO (the weatheroutlook) both are better than met office IMO

Any 'forecast' for that far ahead is going to be no more than an educated guess.
I use accuweather as well it is about the best there is, you really need to check nearer the date though.

[humbersloop]

wouldn't trust even the best of forecasts for this country more than 48 hours ahead, so I'd say either pack the kitchen sink now or do your packing on the 22nd

No matter what the forecast camping is going to be chilly at night even in August. You need some warm sweaters , it may be scorching during the day but it will feel cold at 2 or 3 am. No forecast can rule out a sudden downpour or thunderstorm so make sure you have good waterproofs with you.
