Weather apps/ forecasts recommendations

[Zippy768]

Who uses what apps/forecasts? I generally use the Met office app and the Google forecast - general but I find accurate. Also use accuweather and Weatherpro if I need a third or fourth opinion. I have a wind app but that is pants.
Any reccomendations from people. Always looking for better and more accurate ans informed forecasts, especially to dodge the showers

I like the weather network app

If you want an update, its bloody wet today.

Met office rainfall radar is very useful on the day - by looking back a few hours you can judge when rain is likely to be with you.

www.raintoday.co.uk is quite good

BBC weather is ok. Met Office best for radar maps & Weather Pro is best overall.

Get the sprayer out. As you finish the field, the heavens will open but it won't rain until you turn the booms on. Let me know when you're going spraying please - I'll have a lot to do soon enough

Spraying tomorrow morning - haven't checked forecast since this morning, so don't ruin the surprise.

Button on here - top right of every page of TFF or FMP ?

Forecast is via dark sky which I find pretty good and a great resource for historic weather as well also like the wind speed and rain radars and forecast rain radar
They do a free app which is goods anf you can set alarms to text you if tsin within certain proximity etc useful for sprayer drivers

Weather underground also good with local amateur weather station data useful for current local conditions for spraying etc

Don’t rate bbc or met office apps really

I have tried the weather button but haven't really found it user friendly. Click on "more detail" for the day and I can't or scroll the screen, only move the red line

Just stick your head out the window

Rain alarm app is excellent to give you what will be happening shortly and the intensity and likely length of time your going to get wet.

Windfinder, loads of features, 10 day forecast, and a 3 day detailed ‘super forecast’.
You can set the nearest met office weather station as a favourite and see its live wind speed graph, i.e. is it rising or falling.

The other great app is ‘RainToday’, ignore the forecast, but press the ‘HD Radar’ button in the bottom right. It shows the path of showers over the last hour, and projects them an hour ahead. I use this it for kart racing to see if we should be on slicks or wets. It gifted us a 2nd place last weekend.

You already have the best forecast, your eyes, get up in the morning look out the window and make your mind up, as there’s bugger all you can do about the weather

Dont think any weather app is accurate as they cant even see whats in front of them but i forget bbc now, use met office, weatheronline and weather and radar app. I just look at all and get an idea.
