Default Which weather website?

Pretty much i want to know what website you guys use to get the weather, i normally check either BBC or Weather.co.uk, however recently they have been getting it extremely wrong, for instance, i look out of the window now and see the darkest clouds this year yet according to the bbc its been raining since 1pm and weather.co.uk say its sunny (updated 3 mins ago!)????

If they cant get now right how should i trust next day etc, i didn't go out for a ride today as it said it would be raining and could have just come in and been bone dry and sweating its been so sunny!

So is there a better one?

Ash.

As above. We've been watching the Devon forecast on the TV whilst I was away, and i couldn't believe how inaccurate it was....at least it was for the better
Although the beeb said it would be pretty pleasant for my journey home yesterday, I think they forgot to remember to put in, that it would be damn cold, and very breezy!

Bear in mind their timing can be out by a few hours I find.
