Have looked at various weather forecasts for this weekend to try and decide what we are going to do..... every one of them gives a different outlook - from very heavy rain to none at all!!!
Which one do you all use and which do you find accurate ??

    BBC online one is usually spot on, although forecasting is still a bit hit and miss, remember last summer:eek:
    I am trying, honest;) very trying according to my dear OH:rotfl:

    I'd go with none of them! On Monday they were predicting that today would be 1C with snow and London would be 9C. By yesterday they were predicting that today would be 4C and no snow. Now I've seen snow already albeit not very much so I've given up on forecasts. As for the Met Office - if they say sun pack your wellies, if they say snow get the BBQ ready!

    to be fair to metoffice, last Friday on twitter they issued a heavy snow warning for Tuesday for Northern Ireland, so they got that right, not often though @metofficeni if anyone wants to follow them
