BBC Online Weather Forecasting
Discussion
The BBC weather forecasts are a bit hit and miss, but today takes the biscuit.
The forecast for my local area has said, and is still insisting, still, that today would be and still is sunny with not a cloud in the sky. It's rained solidly since about 11am, no sign of it stopping yet.
Does no one check these things?
And on that note, can anyone suggest another user friendly site that does actually predict real weather?

Pendant corner .....The BBC doesn't do weather forecasts, they are simply a delivery conduit for the Met Office.
Bit like saying that it's the Beeb's fault if the Grand Prix was a bit dull.
Windspeed weather very reliable at;

netweather.tv is scarily accurate, I find. It also has forecasts for motor racing circuits
Also an app for the iphone/touch crowd. If so WHY is it more accurate?I agree with the OP re the BBC's service which is as likely to be the complete opposite of what they forecast as anything else.
My favoured site is http://www.accuweather.com/ and I've found them to be very good. I particularly like their "hour by hour" service and the fact that they're reasonably accurate, even out to 2 weeks away.
