Weather site

I came across this great weather website today and thought you good people would find it useful.

Blimey that made my laptop a bit hot rather fast. Lots of processing there.

My ancient Windows XP-compliant PC took one brief look ... and did a very graceful, but terminal, Victorian maiden's faint.

So I'll never know .

I put no more credence in weather forecasting these days than I do in Mystic Meg and her crystal ball

Thanks to the OP for the info. Personally I find the BBC weather app when set for the local area extremely accurate.

For example yesterday I was offered sunshine from 9.00 to 13.00 and arranged a ride with friends. The forecast promised cool and wet by 14.00. When I got home at 14.15 I was both cool and wet following a glorious ride in autumn sun.

Maybe I'm just unlucky, but I find I'm better off reversing what the BBC, or any other app, says as the weather does the exact opposite of what they have forecast.
Many's the time I've been left looking out at a deluge Noah would be scared of, only to be told by the app that I am apparently basking in brilliant sunshine, have been all day and will continue to do so.
It's still telling me that 2 hours later, while the downpour continues.
I don't even bother checking the weather these days, I just get on with it.

The BBC forecast changes by the hour and using it is impossible to plan anything even a few hours ahead, especially days before. Why don't they use Rain Alarm
or Rain Today http://www.raintoday.co.uk/ as I do? . For wind I find the Wind Observation page helpful http://www.xcweather.co.uk/

Given that I'm currently near Birmingham, it's not too encouraging though that RainToday has located me in Berlin!

I'll have to see if I can change that in settings, as it looks useful otherwise. Failing that, I'll just move to Berlin.

EDIT: now cracked it
