Which weather forcast

[jacobl741]

Thinking of dropping a field for little bales of hay Tomorow, but every weather app I look at conflicts one another. Which is the most reliable? Near Buxton Derbyshire

As a sailor I would avoid the BBC. Supplied by Metro France, they have been wrong more often than right.
I like the Met office, but they all work from the same information. Sailing fora are full of this sort of thing. Gohttp://weather.mailasail.com/Franks-Weather/Home to Frank Singleton for an unbiased opinion.

According to TV tonight it will be unsettled towards the end of this week. Not very hot either.

But you never know you might be lucky!!

Too early for Hay..

I find this good for a dip into medium range charts.

I worked for someone who told me to keep anneye on multiple forecasts, if they agree go for it. I now watch at three different ones, works well for me.

Buxton? No need look at forecast, it'll rain regardless!

Www.buxtonweather.co.uk is usually very good. It is a bit wordy, so not easy to glance at to see what the forecast is.
For a quick glance I use the met Office app

One thing's for sure. If you look at the same weather app throughout the day the forecast on there will have changed every time.

You know ...... and I know ..... that you'll look at any number until you find the one that accords with your thinking.

Too early for Hay..

We baled some silage last night, was mowed friday morning, tedded twice, it still had a lot of green in it. I think i would of needed a week of hot weather to make hay, deff to early the grass is so lush and the ground is damp.

My wife says that's exactly what I do.
Saw the local bbc and then the main bbc weather yesterday, very different forecasts, they have a job to know which day of the week it is sometimes

Gavs weather channel on youtube , covers all the models ,

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKnPg0tFsYu03zThqgU1yTA

can be a bit wordy, but just scroll on past the chatter ad boring stuff , long range ones are fairly right (in a very rough sense regard timing )
the weekly's you get all the models presented , just need to decide what consensus you think are likely .

I find the Norwegian weather service very accurate. Sounds bizarre but they do give weather forecasts for uk . Presumably they spend a lot of time looking west into the Atlantic for their weather and can give a good service for the uk

I have been in Buxton when it has snowed in June.

Day before is too late to learn which model suits your farm. It’s the local subtleties that can make or break for hay, so you need to have a forecast you can trust - whilst they all start with the same data they will likely all crunch it a bit different. Start watching them now and you might have worked out which is most reliable for your microclimate by next summer. For me, it’s Met Office, but that might be the wrong one for my neighbours.

Wasn't there a cricket match interrupted by snow in June one year there?
