Where would we be without 'tinternet

[jenkinsbrynmair]

Just checked the met office weather map for my area - it shows clear skies and sunshine no rain until this evening - looked out the window it's Pi%%ing down!

Without the Net RAB and MandF would never have commenced their long distance romance.

There is a site called will it rain today that gives a pretty accurate radar map of current situation.

 

[Davelin]

PS. The answer is "Yes it will"

 

[Summerslease]

I use a service called Rain Today which has a good weather radar and if you pay for the premium version gives a projected rain radar for the next three hours. Invaluable this year for hive inspections and country walks. I find the met forecasts not specific enough, even though they claim to forecast based on your chosen location. They certainly didn't forecast the wettest year on record.

I find that the weather overlay on Google Earth is pretty good for short term forecasting of rain.

Best weather forecast is to look out of the window
All weather forecasts are an educated guess with the aid of some fancy equipment, obviously someone is guessing wrong

Yes, generally works for me as looking at Accuweather's (actually fairly accurate for here) 25day forecasts has made me progressively depressed this year.

Anybody live in the Aeron Valley?
Hubby and I are moving there soon.

Problem with the UK met office, and the BBC forecasts they provide the public with is that they are all a bit vague and dumbed down. Really annoying since we pay the vast bulk of their running costs with taxes and licence fees. Some of us can cope with numbers.

A couple of alternatives:

http://www.yr.no/ is the Norwegian weather service (in English too) with hour by hour forecasts, expected rainfall range and useful graphs. When the met office and the Norwegians have differed, it's usually the Norwegians who get it right. There's also an Android widget called AIX that draws a 24 hour forecast on the phone homepage using yr.no data.

http://xcweather.co.uk provides a lot of detail, 3 hour forecasts intervals etc. Not as slick but it works.

Been using XC for some time at sea as well as at home we've always found it on the whole very accurate (also helps as three weather stations bracket Brynmair nicely!
Just been put on to the Norwegian one and it sounds good.
