OK, so now that its starting to get interesting outside - what weather service do you folks use?

I tend to find the BBC website doesn't give anywhere near enough information, but is pretty reliable. I've had mixed results from weather.co.uk but what do others use? Do you even bother?

I like this one:

http://www.xcweather.co.uk/

You can get an immediate view of exactly what really is happening from weather stations as well as forecasting ahead. Play with the different tabs.

metcheck or weather.co.uk

My barometer.

a combination of bbc (for the maps), metcheck.com & metoffice.
metcheck tends ot be optimistic, met office tends to be pessimistic

BBC for daily forecasts, and the met website to see where the rain is if I'm going out for a ride soon.

Finger in the air or toss of a coin.
Generally expect rain always !

but if I want to be confused then I'll also view bbc & accuweather

met office, bbc and the look out the window. I then sort of average everything out from them all in my head (Scientific or what!). Then I get on my bike and it's usually nowhere near what I thought it might be.

usually just use the accuweather app on my phone

BBC weather forecast site. And set as my home page this site here,

I can have a quick look and check the current temperature before I go out

Good old Aldi, I bought one of their Weather Stations years ago, with the outside sensor I get the outside temp and humidity and if the pressure is rising /falling. I know exactly what to wear and the forecast it gives is usually more accurate than the Met Office over a 12 - 24hr period, be lost without it now.

I always used to use Metcheck, but I'm fast going off it as a sole indicator.

I've reverted back to the Met office forecast, although if it's too depressing I'll mix a bit of metcheck in with it

localised conditions can be very different from any forcast
