I find the Metoffice site to be the most accurate, at least for south-west Scotland.

wrong, it's a concept I use called "the truth"
MWIS for mountain areas
metoffice or xcweather. For some reason metcheck is hopelessly optimistic. But I only use it for forecast throughout the day and mainly for wind speed and direction. I'm not bothered about rain but I like to know if I'm going to be riding into a headwind.
I should add the metoffice is only accurate in my experience 48 - 24hrs prior to the day you are looking at, longer range than this and it's no good.
"hopelessly optimistic" is exactly the weather forecast I'd be looking for 😯
Metcheck seems to be ****ed for me just now.
"hopelessly optimistic" ? Yeah if you wanna go skiing or snowboarding!
It's 22C and sunny out, but Metcheck says 8C for today, but have changed tomorrows forecast from -2C and snowing to +2C.
i like magic seaweed.
if only because the animated pressure/rainfall chart is kinda cool/usefull.
I simply summon Beelzebub and ask him if there'll be showers tommorrow.
I simply summon Beelzebub and ask him if there'll be showers tommorrow.
but sadly the answer is always "yes" 🙁
It seems to me like the truth is always halfway between metcheck and the bbc.
-2C and rain on thursday
-2C and heavy snow on sunday
18C and sunny on monday
I reckon tossing a coin to decide the weather will be more accurate.
Metcheck has been stuffed for at least a week now

Wouldnt that be a nowcast, not a forecast?
