Weather Forecasts

[SpeciMan]

There are a number of weather forecasting services available online.

 

Quite often their predictions are different from one another.

 

Out of interest which ones do you use and which proves to be the most reliable?

 

I tend to use the Met Office predictions.. they're not always right but hey they're the main forecasters in the UK with the probably the best technology???

 

Despite poor forecasts I'll try and head out to a launch point to see what the conditions are like - if I manage to get out I'll leave the VHF on for any weather warnings (as well as distress calls).

Metcheck.com use to be fantastic for booking holidays when the long range forecast was a free option, nearly always spot on.
