It's the only one that really tries to take into account the vagaries of altitude

Yr.no

like that MWIS, very detailed. but it contradicts Yr.no who have a better outlook!

Daily Express, they're nothing if not reliable.

"KILLER SIBERIAN ARCTIC STORM BLAST COMING TO SMASH BRITAIN!!! (temps as low as -5 may be seen in parts of the highlands)"

or did you mean 'accurate'?

Always use the 'Met office' and they have been as accurate as you can be when forecasting the weather.

+1 Yr.no

I used to rate yr.no very highly but in the last year their forecasts have been very flakey.

Metoffice do a brilliant job for 3 days ahead. MWIS for anywhere mountainous.

depends if you want reliable or like folks i know - one that suits what your wanting to do.

i always treat the MWIS forecast with respect.... the others i take with a pinch of salt.

Accuweather for me. Plus their phone app has very accurate prediction for the next 120 minutes (it works brilliantly!).

Used to rate yr.no but as has been mentioned doesn't seem so good now. Best option is to look out the window and be prepared for all other realistic possibilities.

Accuweather, used it to chase a small patch of sun across the Indian subconitnent for a month in mid monsoon... We got rained on once!

I've found yr.no to be a bit flakey now, used to be very good. Just installed accuweather platinum (had some free money from Google to spend).

Also use the met office rainfall radar.

its for planning a big mountain ride. hoping to make another assault on Snowdon this weekend after last time, when the weather reports were all so conflicting we just said phuckit and set off - but only made it half way up llanberis before having to retreat.

The rainfall radar is accurate I use it a lot. There are weather simulations every day but variations start to creep in hour-by-hour. Local forecasts can be hit-and-miss depending on the nearest observation point.

All part of the UK's rich tapestry eh

Quite like: http://xcweather.co.uk/

Although too bad if you're riding DH, AM, enduro, etc...

Xcweather for me!

For outdoorsy stuff, in Scotland and the the other hilly bits, MWIS is probably the best. Not perfect but better than anything else I've tried.

postman/farmer I know praises met check for long term forecasting - he should know as he's out most of the days.
