Middle of next week is crucial ,big high from europe meeting some sh!t from the US , who's going to win
Like every other week since the middle of July, the sh!t
This wheeze of forecasting dry weather the following week.......then finding out it's sh!te has been on going for the last 2 years.....
I've reached the conclusion they cannot forecast accurately beyond 7 days.
Yet we've had 7 day forecasts for as long as I can remember, at least back to the 1970's.
I'd have expected more progress in the last 30 years TBH.
So modern computer models, no better than looking at barometers and sniffing seaweed then.

Anyway I believe the more info you chuck at the problem the more diverse the answer is .

7 days?? they said it was going to be 18 deg today with breeze and very pleasant. By 3pm it was raining again. I think more like 7hrs
I said to someone earlier give me the millions they are spending on the computer that's supposed to give these forecasts, I won't care about the weather as I will be on a beach somewhere warm and sunny. I will then make up some more accurate forecasts than we currently get and everyone wins
Got a problem with sniffing seaweed have we ?Do that ?

There's a question mark in there ...

Nearly dry all day then it rained again this evening. The high pressure that they forecast to be establishing on Thursday yesterday has been put back yet again to maybe appearing next week. Agree the forecast isn't worth looking at. 10% chance of rain can mean a torrential downpour that takes three days to dry up. Pointless.

It has got to the stage here that when you look out of the window and it is only drizzling, you think "oh what a lovely day!" Even the slugs are drowning....

We refer to those damp, foggy, drizzly days as Welsh days and heavy downpour days as English summer days.

Had no rain for nearly 48 hours here. I see none on the 5 day forecast either. I predict I'll be firing up the lex to fetch the beans this week and some light land idiot will be asking for "a bit" of rain come Thursday.

Still grey and overcast
You didn't get the heavy drizzle at 3ish? Which f**king forecast forecasted that? Nearly stopped the job but it moved on

Didn't seem to, concrete didn't really dry though. Looking like Mon/tues might be the day to get the spring wheat.
They couldn't forecast the winner in a one horse race
