I just keep looking at the different sites until I find one that suits me

Seriously though.... Wetterzentrale's charts are great for a look forward though it does take a little study. After that its the like of Met E, XC, Magic S, Guru, UKMET etc. etc. I would use the ECMWF for a second opinion long range.
The ME 3 hour is usually fairly spot on and their 12hour chart is handy. I know they sometimes get it wrong but overall they are fairly good. I think the current spell (2 months

) makes life difficult for forecasters - Unpredictable low after unpredictable low.

Has to be M.T Cranium on Boards.ie weather , this guy (Canadian) is a bit of a legend and I would trust his forecast above anyone else !
http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthre ... 1&page=141
He forecast the cold spell (and the severity of it) well before met.ie had even said the weather would get cold!
In todays forecast outlook he said "models are beginning to show some very warm weather patterns in early July which, if they come to pass, could bring highs of 25 to 28 C well inland in southeast to south breezes"
Hope he's right

Foreget Accuweather etc. or any other generic euro weather site ... only good for advertising cheap hotels

!
In fairness you can get a pretty good idea of coming weather also from magicseaweed.com based on sea charts.

He forecast for June was we would have a few sunny days and the best dates for this would be between 14-20

I told him to take up golf.

Yes XC weather http://www.xcweather.co.uk/ has been very good for me until the last few weeks, I don't think any of them are reliable at the moment

The Truth is often stumbled upon by men, most of whom pick themselves up and hurry along as if nothing ever happened.
