A decent weather site

[Andy_G]

I was just wondering what website you find the most accurate for weather, ive used the Met office one and its not bad, The Weather channel one is the worst in my eyes.
Please share your favourite one

BBC for me.

Met office, bbc is a good site now. But not much beats the net weather.tv site. Long range forecasts are pretty good, but if you're a little bit of a weather geek like me the charting is amazing,

This has already been done recently, but try www.yr.no unlikely as it seems.

Likely as it may seem, that's what i use

BBC Forecasting always seems to come in over optimistic I find.

Surely all the met data is first collected by the Met Office, analysed and then distributed to the various outlets listed above, to be presented in the format they prefer? I can't imagine they all have the satellites and super computers needed to provide independant forecasts. I guess this begs the question, how can the forecasts be so different?

bbc weather but by the far best way is to look outside both left and right , ok not much good for long range but best for short time

www.wunderground.com seems to be the most well informed summary site, and includes decent wind forecast in the summary

Wunderground for me, got temps, wind speed and direction. Don't need much else, but I also have the Rainy Days app on my phone to check for rainfall nearby.

Surprisingly there are a few private companies that forecast weather in addition to the Met Office. I have a friend who is a forecaster and take great joy in taking the p155. I have learnt to read aviation forecasts which are generally good for the day.

I often need to know the weather forecast in Mexico...
