I don't look as it is very depressing and they are normally wrong anyway. We do not clean off ropes or access equipment right now so the wind issues and really bad weather tends not to affect us in the same way.

At the moment all the forecasts seem to be talking rubbish, so planning to far ahead is pointless.
Saying that the Yahoo weather on my phone does a local hour by hour and that is pretty good.
Had continuous heavy rain on Monday which the phone claimed would ease up between 3-5pm - which amazingly it did and allowed me to get a couple of jobs done.
It then predicted a return to heavy rain after 5 which was also true.
Good for the hear and now but ignore what it says about tomorrow.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2656295

seems the best of a bad bunch find them 60-70% accurate.

Look at met office sometimes for second opinion if I don't like the BBC forecast  ;D

Looked at others but always comeback to BBC.
