Seems to have been down for a while. Is it just me?

Aye - not been great for weeks now. I can get on the site but it then fails to show the forecasts!

I keep getting this error message...

[i]Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0009'

Subscript out of range: '318'

/INCLUDES/GENERIC/FORECASTS/48hr_generic.asp, line 19[/i]

yep, that's the one I keep seeing as well. Anyone know where else to get a good forecast from?

Met Office, it's been very accurate for a while now and unlike Metcheck they recognise that wind exists.

Cheers. Funny thing is, I always thought metcheck was the met office!

metcheck is usually good for a laugh when you need cheering up. I see the weather here is now "data temporarily unavailable", rather than the usual daft thing like 36C and snow with 348mph winds.

Metcheck has been on the fritz for ages. I tend to use WeatherPro on my iPhone, and I think it's available for other platforms, and possibly a desktop version as well. They are pretty accurate, and the satellite and radar views are excellent.

Metcheck is nothing to do with the Met Office.

www.accuweather.com

Click the UK and Irish section at the top of the page. The winter predictions 09/10 were far better than the Met office.
