I tended to use metcheck, but recently have found it to be a bit iffy.

I usually find metcheck OK- as long as you don't trust it more than 48 hours out.

MWIS is by far the best, but has limited area coverage

druidh is right though - not more than two days out.

and any more than three days out is usually little better than guessing.

The BBC one is the best. It's always guaranteed to be exactly the opposite of what it says. Every time......

No one site, if they all agree then you can have some confidence, if they all disagree then it's anyones guess....

I don't really trust any of them anymore. Will usually have a nose at the weather on GMTV and check the MWIS though, just to get a rough idea.

Combine XC weather with Windguru. Windguru only applicable if you live say 20 miles from the coast , as thats where the locations are. Its normally very accurate in the 48 hour /72 hour forcast.

A combination of metcheck, bbc and xc weather. Sometimes they're similar.

Met check and beeb to get an idea of the weather pattern then a look out of the window to see what is happening locally. Usually pretty accurate for 48 hrs
