Which weather website?

bbc weather, promptly followed by:
www.metoffice.gov.uk

i never use bbc because i find they always say its raining when ita nice and sunny i go on google type in weather and make my own mind up by looking at verious web site

I tend to look out the window. Another good method is check which way the wind is blowing and then try and think of anyone you know who lives upwind of you by 10 or 50 or 100 miles, (or search for a public webcam in that direction). Ask them what the weather is like where they are and sure enough you'll get the same soon enough. I think that most weather forecasters actually have a few blokes in boats off the coast of Cornwall, Scotland, East Anglia, etc, and they just text in what the weather's doing for them plus wind direction, and they work it out from there; would certainly save a lot of money on satellites if it were true...

I think in England this weather forecast is always true: 50% chance of showers with sunny spells and some cloud. You can't go far wrong with that.

Alternatively, type "weather" into google and hit enter, it'll ask you for your postcode (the first time), and seems to be as right/wrong as any other weather forecast for me, i.e. 50/50.

Or, buy one of those old barometer/temp guages/weather forecasting things that people used to nail to the wall in their hallways. They actually seemed quite accurate, or at least no less accurate than any other method.

Good luck.

I check the BBC but they seem to be wrong 90% of the time if I am looking at days other than today

I actually emailed the BBC to complain about a year ago, and they told me they get their data from the met office!

However...I find that I can look at the met office page and they have some thing where I can look at the movement of rain, etc over the last day - so I use that to work out if there's rain "nearby" and/or moving in my direction!

I use accuweather, they tend to be pretty accurate for a science that is never accurate!

www.windfinder.com.. This is good and give wind as well
www.wunderground.com. Has marine bouys off shore so U can see whats heading your way.
Both of these are very good and used by industry.

This is fairly reliable... (*get's coat...)

I use the metoffice because the BBC refuses to work on my laptop (no idea why)

Maria

Accuweather, or whoever that puts the data into the weather widget on the OS X dashboard.

And then weather.com.
