Never believe just one in isolation.

I look at 4-5 sites regularly and if they all say roughly the same thing I might believe it.

A friend who is a farmer uses a subscription based norgewian site. It is unnervingly accurate. Even down to fine detail like what time the rain will hit, where it will blow over etc.

Wish I could remember the name of it! Will ask next time I see them.

I use MWIS which is pessimistic but not far off usually...

Usually look at A rain radar, xc weather, windguru and yr weather.
Yr do a nice little app.

Accuweather on my phone gets the gist, but temperatures are all over the shop.

A combination of :-
yr.no - I like the graphics.
Accuweather - seems good apart from the wind strength and direction which can be way out for the NE coast.
Magic Seaweed - as accurate as professional forecasts for wind/wave and weather patterns.

Meteogroup's web-based forecast site. I use WeatherPro on my phone and pad, easily as accurate as any other, certainly more than the Met Office.

I combine the simple graphics of yr.no with the Met Office, and take an average between the two

glance at a few, unless it's extreme weather how accurate do you need?
