Best weather websites?

[Red Alert]

Hello, I have been using the bbc website for my area but it seems to be wrong regarding cloud cover quite often. Is there any websites out there that are perhaps a bit more accurate with cloud projections?

You could try ASTROFORECAST.org it works on your personal postcode and is very accurate ( well it is for me ).

that is excellent for some reason though i have to make it use port 8080 astroforecast.org:8080 ???

For me it's

Long term (24 hours) the Met Office: Met Office: UK: forecast weather

Short term (a few hours) Sat 24.com: http://sat24.com/Region.aspx?country=gb&sat=ir&type=loop

Another vote for sat24, it's the only one I use. (well apart from emailing my mate stevel, who even pedicted the Icelandic volcano going up)

I look at all of the above websites and day to day they all have differing weather info.

I also use 7Timer! - numerical weather forecast for anywhere over the world

If you go to Apanel and enter your location coords you get a weather chart for your area

I wouldn't say they are spot on either but it's another site with info to confuse you.

I use this site, full of resources inc sat24, met office charts, Meteogroup excellent rainfall radar animation and lots more.

Another one for the pot. (apols if it tells you the weather round my way)

Metcheck.com - Global Weather Forecasts - [updated on 11 May 2010 at 23:00] - Weather Feeds - Live Data - Long Range Weather Forecasts

I just tend to keep looking round until I find a forecast that tells me what I want to hear and when it turns out to be wrong I just curse them and ask why they gave a different forecast to everyone else.

Thanks very much for all the answers, I will have a look at them all.

Just praying for a clear night, only had one since getting my scope 2 weeks ago

Yes, you don't realise how often it's cloudy until you have an interest in it not being.

I see it was lovely and clear when the airports were shut again. Coincidence?

I use Weather Watcher 5.6.53 desktop app, it is the last of the free versions by Singers Creations. I find it very accurate.
