Internet weather

[Tractor Tom]

Which websites do you use to plan your work and do you consistently find some more accurate than others ?

 

[Juggler]

XC Weather, seems to be a bit more accurate than others, although by no means perfect.

 

[wobs]

only uses the GFS,you need to incorporate all of the various outputs.study them for a few years regards your own location and topography,set yourself a PWS up and become hooked to all things regards Meteorology.
even then we get it wrong at times lol.
9 out of 10 are bang on or near enough though.
Educate yourself regards the weather,it's not a difficult subject to learn especially if it's your livelihood.

sorry PWS personal weather station.

www.yr.no
Works brilliantly every time where ever I am.

Netweather seems quite good ten days guide, but it seems nowadays you can travel 10 miles and get something totally different so perhaps not easy to predict

Personnally i use Weatherweb.net and read Simon's posts on here, i also use BBC and MET Office

On an iPad I use weatherproHD. Always seems close and easy to use. Plus Simon on here and XC weather

iPhone apps:

Met Office - has good radar maps
Weather Pro - very good all round.

Internet:

XC Weather
BBC
Met Office
Weatherweb.net for medium - longer term trends

The old Metcheck used be good, although it did go erratic at times forecasting temperatures just above absolute zero or windspeeds of several hundred mph for our area. Accuweather when Joe barstewardi did the UK and Europe was very good, perhaps not so accurate now. Use Simon for the longer range stuff with my own little weather station good enough for the next day.
BBC pretty hopeless I think due to our "local" weather station being 40 miles away; Lake Vyrnwy.

Thanks for the replies lads, looks like some good websites there

 

[Big Blue Yonder]

norwegian met office just google in norwegian weather or www.yr.no

and rain today for up to date rain radar www.raintoday.co.uk

 

[Brisel]

I used to use Metcheck. Not brilliantly reliable but a good layout.

When it's main operator went to prison I deleted it from my browser in disgust. It seems to be back on form again with someone else at the helm.

 

[azimuth]

sorry im in the wrong forum,was looking for how to kill rushes in Agricultural Matters

 

[Getnthair]

My vote is for www.yr.no too.
Particularly like the ten day forecast.
