Metcheck is as good as any. But they're all pretty crap.

basically, what ever site you use they all get their info from met office.

I use the one on my yahoo page weather.com

i don't like the met office one, information overload ???

i am not that clever :D

the bbc one on page 400 sky is pretty good.
I look at my area on a 5 day forecast and then 24 hr breakdown in 3 hr segments.

i found over the yrs that weather forecasts are only 70% accurate at best and looking at 5 day forecasts is just a general idea of what might happen.

the only time these are right  is when there is a ridge of high pressure, like last week in south east.

I just know that Sky news weather is awful,  especially when that bloke who used to be on BBC breakfast does it,     I don't want to know what the weather is in South Africa or the middle east  just the south east of England will be fine  :D :D :D :D :D

I look out of the window.  If it's raining it's wet.  If it's dry, it's not.
