Having rushed the last bit of barley in last night, when it would have benefited from another dry day, as it was forecast wet today and Wednesday evening, I’m feeling a bit irritated that the sun is shining and it’s now forecast dry till tomorrow!
 
We all need to accept that hourly forecasts done by algorithms on our phones will change at a whim.
Nothing more useful than Simon's forecasts which said " next week will tend to be drier/wetter than this week". At least then we weren't disappointed when it was a bit wrong!

There all bloody useless. Weatherpro had 20mm 2 days ago. Now 9mm forecast. Met office says f all. Might as well carry on what your doing and just look at rain today app every 30 mins.

Next 7 days forecast from BBC and yrno. It's either going to be a dry week or we are going to get 40 mm!
How the hell can they be so different and how the hell is anyone supposed to plan anything based on such varying forecasts?
