Xc weather is reasonably reliable

trickyfriendsone · 12/04/2023 20:11

The met office app is pretty accurate.

I use Metcheck

Second Wendy Wilson on fb

Windy not Wendy 😹

Windy Wilson is good if you're around Perthshire.

I find for my area (East Lothian) the Met Office is generally correct. Certainly better than the BBC, anyway.

Whatthediddlyfeck · 12/04/2023 20:22

I use accuweather-it’s usually pretty spot on

prettybird · 12/04/2023 20:22

I use the Yr app - it's a Norwegian one that provides forecasts all over the world, using the Norwegian weather super computers.

I always find it more accurate than the BBC or the Met Office - and it was also accurate for France when I was away skiing. My dad put me on to it when he was in South Africa and was predicting rain which came when the SA forecasts weren't predicting rain.

Another vote for Windy.

tigger1001 · 12/04/2023 20:26

Another vote for windy Wilson on fb. But I also use AccuWeather and met office. Both seem relatively accurate for a weather app

randomsabreuse · 12/04/2023 20:37

Windy Wilson on FB.

dementedpixie · 12/04/2023 20:40

I use met office and accuweather

PoBaFla · 12/04/2023 21:39

Another vote for the Met office app. Find it pretty reliable if I'm only checking a day or 2 in advance

DuesToTheDirt · 12/04/2023 21:51

YY to Windy Wilson.

I also use Accuweather, but sometimes the forecast and the radar show different things!

BrokenWing · 12/04/2023 23:18

Scotland weather here

sunshineonleven · 12/04/2023 23:20

Yet another vote to follow Windy Wilson on social media. Far more accurate, far more often than any of the apps.

flutterby123 · 12/04/2023 23:27

XC weather or the Norwegian weather website www.yr.no I find these to be most accurate and we look at the weather forecasts a lot! 😂

Accuweather is good.

Windy Wilson is mostly spot on weather wise but he is a prick with a weirdly obsessive fan base.

I have several apps and always find iPhone the best. BBC is good too as you can click on the hours to get more detail but it seems to want me to register to use it now which I can't be bothered with. I don't find AccuWeather accurate at all

liveforsummer · 13/04/2023 08:47

Windy Wilson is funny and good for knowing about impending extreme conditions but unlikely to be helpful for regular up to date weather in specific areas

ssd · 13/04/2023 08:50

Thanks all

I find the Met Office one is best - I gave up on the BBC one as it was inaccurate.
