philhas Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I have to say the Met Office has got the forecast spot on today, nice clear skies from lunchtime and forecast to last till at least 8 pm. Strange as clearoutside.com has shown the complete opposite yet I thought they used aggregates from the Met Office as well as others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qualia Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I hve found 'clearoutside' to be quite irregular when it comes to forecasting the weather in my area of Spain. Not sure if it would be any good for the UK, but I find Meteoblue a lot more accurate and reliable source; it even has a astronomy sky forecast which is often very handy.

philhas Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 Nothing but cloud and rain down here been like it for weeks It has been really bad up here Robbie, 3 to 4 weeks of cloud and rain but today it cleared and nice and clear outside with the odd bit of high cloud floating by. Had a nice view of M45 and Orion is just peeping up above my fence! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveS Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Chucking it down here, there's been a lot of surface water on the roads and my patio has been a couple of inches deep. BBC weather from the met office says clear from about 8 o/c tonight, and clear tomorrow night.However they also say humidity in the range 89-95+% so I don't know. I really want to get more data on Pacman, so we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davesellars Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 It was perfectly clear in all directions last night at 9pm on my way back home from the train station I stopped and had a good look at the constellations and tried to make out out M31 but either my eyes were not properly dark adapted or there was still too much light pollution... Still it was the clearest night i've seen for quite some time! Unfortunately, however I was just too tired to get the scope out after a rather long journey / day...
