Lunar weather

Lots of people here swear by http://www.predictweather.com/ . I haven't found him extraordinarily accurate, but it is interesting. What's your weather like compared to what this bloke says?

[wulf]

He says that London will have intermittent showers; the BBC say a clear day with no rain and barely a cloud in the sky. Looking out of my window, the BBC are winning so far!

I quite like http://www.metcheck.com, but I tend to just look up in the sky to see whats happening!

I feel the cold constantly, so even if it looks like 30 degs outside. I still take a jumper out, just in case.

Or the met office site is quite good.

Whoops - you've got a superfluous comma in that URL. Try:

I got a barometer for my 30th birthday and I always check that along with the BBC forecast. The barometer is often right more often than the BBC

Eeeeh, thanks Wulf. Blooming commas eh?

I've found the new look BBC weather to be more useful than the older system - it certainly continues to be another baking hot day in Lewisham, with a few wispy clouds but generally a blue sky and not a drop of rain.

fair point wulf, when I posted I had the old system in mind. The new system is much better, I always had to look at south wales for my nnearest symbol so it was never right.

It also seems that the new system has given us hotter weather.

I've had a barometer for years, but it is less use here. We don't get the wide variations in barometric pressure that you do in Europe so it always stays somewhere around the middle, and the writing on the side (fair, stormy, etc) doesn't mean much here!

I hope that bloke is not right about his predictions! According to him we'll have awful weather the next days, torrential rains and storms... According to www.met-office.gov.uk, which is what I usually check, it's going to be quite nice; dry and warmish. They aren't aways right, either; often their weather arrives a day late, and I remember one day when the forecast chagend three times within 24 hours... (Typical for Scotland, though - at least three seasons in any one day.)

I look at meteo.fr and I saw thunderstorms for tonight - brilliant I thought as we desperately need rain, until I zoomed in and found they are to pass about 30km south of me....... Well we'll see! Just a few drops, pretty please!
