Hi folks

Which is your favourite website link for good quality local weather forecasts? A site that is good for 3 day or even better 5 day forecasts

Cheers
Mike

Mike,

I use this one http://www.netweather.tv/ been spot on everytime so far and you can get local with it too i've put in small villages and it come up with them where others only seem to find the larger towns.

I find

http://www.xcweather.co.uk/

probably the most accurate for North East Scotland, but like all the other forecasts I always take it with a pinch of salt.  Depending where I'm going I also usually look at the 5 day forecasts on the BBC at  http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml   and the Met Office at http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/gr/gr_forecast_weather.html  and see if they agree about anything.    During infrequent jaunts into the hills I also check  http://www.mwis.org.uk/

Abit of rain never hurt anyone

But you cant pinpoint your location that closely with those, while the one i posted you can almost go to your doorstep.

Cool .......... so if I had a "Haddo Weather Link" set up on the site to here http://www.netweather.tv/index.cgi?action=uk7dayx6;page=1;type=free;ct=19680~Methlick;sess=#forecast Would it always open with the latest forecast?

Don't see why not?

Cheers
Mike

PS: I love all the links on the right to "Will it be windy? Will it be frosty? Etc Etc

[Mike Barrio]

Great stuff

I've added a local weather link at the bottom of the forum page and fingers crossed, it should hopefully work

I've set it up based on Methlick ( Cool ) but you can simply change the search box to Mintlaw for Pitfour, Turriff for Delgatie etc etc

Hope it proves useful

Oh well ......... looks like we get a wee bit of sun on Wednesday followed by ( you guessed it ) more rain on Thursday and more rain on Friday 

Hmmm ..... I've just remembered why I don't usually watch the forecast on the tv

The link is not working for me. I just get a flicker then returned to your page.

Sounds like it might be your "pop-up blocker" Irvine? Do the other links open OK?

Best link I have for my local weather is
http://www.yr.no/   

Don't know if it covers outside of Norway but it is the most accurate forecast I have come across

[DruBuc]

i find the BBC website good for my golfing reports for the coming 24hours as for fishing weather reports i find the BBC is usually spot on.


Com On the HEED!!!!!!!!
