Good weather website

[wisdom]

Hi all.
Any suggestions other than the met office for really good accurate weather websites(not mobile apps).
Ideally ones where you can put your postcode in.

Thanks in anticipation

The Weather Channel is probably my favourite at the moment.

XC weather or Metcheck

TWO - The Weather Outlook - good for getting a perspective beyond 2-5 days.

XC weather

I swear by it - seems particularly accurate for the following 3 days or so.

really useful to see what is actually happening and what is likely to happen over the next few hours.

And there I was expecting to find out about a website that only forecasts good weather.

Yup, Met Office, Rain Today and XC Weather for me - I'll usually check all three, but even just a combination of just Met Office and Rain Today normally makes sure I don't get caught out. Given the changeability of British weather and the incredible amount of data collecting and processing involved, I'm in awe of how accurate (normally) the forecasts are. Seriously. Though that still doesn't stop me getting annoyed when they do get it wrong!

I use the BBC weather site, seems to be reasonably good. Have bookmarked the XC site though.

This has been good for me.

Another vote for raintoday. The live rain radar and predictive one for the next few hrs does shape the route and timing of my rides.

xc weather, and www.netweather.tv for rainfall radar, put the two together and you can work out if you will be dry pretty accurately.

I have found Metcheck to be the most accurate over the last few years.

RainToday is awesome, you get to see the full picture and make your own prediction

A lot of the weather sites like BBC will tell you the predicted weather at a precise location at a precise time and completely ignore the fact theres a huge storm forecast half a mile away or between the times it quotes.

I use the Met office/ bbc tv weather (also available on line) to get an advance 'Forecast'. I stress the word forecast and like to consult the weather radar on the aforementioned raintoday to get a more uptodate data. Particularly when its pouring, so I can gauge wheter it'll stop/ get lighter/ which direction to go
