 Poster: A snowHead
|
Doesn't seem to be working at the moment. I use it in conjunction with the BBC and MetOffice site for local forecasts.
What model does metcheck use? Any other good ones?
Particularly interested in rainfall at the moment from a farming perspective.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

johnboy, If you find a good forecast site from a farming perspective let me know. I use the same three as you but with metcheck out im just toggling between the other two continuously, down to 40 acres of spuds tonight, crap weather coming though. I just want to know roughly how much rain is going to fall and when! I've never been able to work out how much rain is represented by one raindrop on a light cloud compared with, say, two raindrops on a dark cloud, I just want to know if the likelihood is for 3mm, 5mm, 10mm or 50mm then I know how much to panic.

nozawaonsen, indeed - one reason why we stopped using it.
Meteox is good for seeing if it is likely to rain in the next 12 hours.

e.g., I suppose 10 mm of rain is a pain but not a disaster. thanks for the link!

There's also theweatheroutlook which I find pretty accurate
DaveMcSki, only 40 acres of tatties left, just a couple of days digging then

e.g., I wish! It's probably 6 days work but with the forecast the way it is, it could be into November till we're finished!
