The BBC weather site is never right for my area, never ever; is there a better weather site I can look at?

We always laugh and say that our bit of Norfolk has different weather to the forecast. We laugh because it mainly does; we seem to be in a little pocket of 'odd' weather

The forecast says rain & 2 miles in each direction it is raining and where we are it is sunny

Or it's snowing here and it's raining elsewhere

It's frustrating

Metcheck use one model - gfs and is an automated output. Would recommend the met office which uses humans to interpret the forecast.

xc weather

in Norfolk too. The coast has a completely different weather system to the rest
DH has hobbies that rely on good weather readings and this is the one he uses

Blimey 47mph sounds very windy

Norfolk is odd isn't it

The number of times DH & I are a mile or so apart & have completely different weather

We're in a funny place. Not on the coast but close enough (3 milesish) that what happens there can impact on our weather. And when the wind blows it can feel like it is coming straight from the north pole

Usually use //www.weather.co.uk as they have 10 day forecast. But xc weather looks better. We are off to the Norfolk Broads this weekend and the forecast looks good.

Well oohermrs your site's 'light wind' is nearly knocking down trees

The Met office says the wind is 28 - which seems more likely

The BBC site says rain & 20mph

But Bronzes actually shows what we have - I am impressed Wink
