BBC weather reports - SV650.org

Do any of you watch the weather reports on a regular basis to plan your biking around?

I check the BBC website all the time for the weather and I honestly think they are having a laugh. Today for example with kinross as the default town it's supposed to be clear with sunny spells according to the 24 hour summary. It's currently ****ing with rain.

Every day this week the forecast has been the complete opposite of what they say on the website.

Very annoying!!!

I dont use the bbc website to plan biking as i know its pants!

I used to windsurf and still snowboard and there is plenty better sites out there!

I use to start by using the met office site but since found out that too could be miles off! (and giving away FREE accurate weather forcats info would loose them a lot of money)

I use there pressure charts to see what is moving about (highs & lows) and then use any one of the following to get a better idea:

http://www.mwis.org.uk/ good for hillwalking

http://www.weatheronline.co.uk/

http://www.metcheck.com/ good for snows

probably the best me thinks

http://www.xcweather.co.uk/ cool cause its updated with wind from all across the uk! not great for forcasts though

Cheers dude.

Pressure charts - why didn't I think of that???

More annoyingly - the met office is based in Scotland!!!! So why can't they give us more accurate fecking forecasts??????

Farmingonline is very accurate but you have to pay apparently

It's amazing the differences in forecasts between them all though. One saying one thing and the rest all different.

www.weather.com - hilarious. It's to be 8 degrees and rain every day for the next 3000 years. Typical yanks!
