apache Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 Everyone uses met office data. Everything else is derivative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 Hi, I use xc weather and in the winter netweather.tv as this adds the wind chill factor. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasper3 Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 when we plan our Kayaking tips we use XC weather then cross reference with the met office XC is by far the better one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacksdad Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 This morning it was really lashing down with rain, and quite breezy. By midday it had stopped raining but the wind was worse (not mine!). Then, late afternoon I spent half an hour sunbathing in the back garden, right now I've got a pullover on, will probably fire up the central heating for half an hour in a bit... How do you forecast that then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slated Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 i find metcheck good for a 5 day forecast but not so good for the next day or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poontang Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 I use Metcheck and it's fairly accurate. Just had a look at XC and that looks pretty good too. Either way it looks like Wednesday's going to be a bit mild and calm for my liking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
