Even I could understand this

just use the bbc local forecast

My local forecast page has changed now, looks just like so many other weather sites. Also, this '% chance of rain' is an insult to the intelligence.

The forecast for the following week is always dry. Till we get there, when it's wet. Why can't they admit that they can't forecast more than 7 days in advance.

to fine tune that one click on nearby locations and pick the one that is closest/similar height AS / relief as where you are....
a station thats updated often is better as well .....

another check to make is look back at what the last 24hrs forecast was , which ever one is closest to what your own weather was in the last 24 will possibly be the best /most accurate ..one to use...

Is @Simon Keeling still doing FG weather ?

 

[Simon Keeling]

Farmers Weather is now at www.Weatherweb.net ... free of charge and still published each Monday and Thursday by midday. My weekly column is still in Farmers Guardian.

Watching BBC forecast now a waste of time for Cumbria, its been covered over by the great big Belfast tag

I use the met office iPad weather app with the map showing the weather animation for last 6 hours or next 24 hours which I find is the most accurate information I can then interprete to give an accurate prediction through my local knowledge

Use the bbc app for longer term but always take it with a pinch of salt
