Weather Apps (2 Viewers)

Who uses what and how do you find it?

BBC seems a piece of shit, MET Office tends to be decent.

Just wondering as off to Lyme Regis with the kids Sunday for 3 nights and some forecasts saying its going to piss it down, some saying it will be dry and a bit of sun with cloud.

Unsure wether to sack it off and do something else with them

They are all shite, in my view. But they all feed off essentially the same data, which are woefully inaccurate at forecasting beyond about 4 days despite the Met Office spending tens of millions on ever-more-powerful computer systems.
I find it annoying that there is no difference in the "overview" for a day when they expect it to have light rain for 2 hours or pissing it down all day. It's all based on probabilities that are invariably inaccurate for a particular location.
But to answer your question, I flick between the BBC app (which is quite user-friendly) and the Apple one (Weather Channel i think).

I used Channel 9 with Paola Fisch at the minute

Monday : Scorchio
Tuesday : Scorchio
Wednesday : Scorchio
Thursday : Scorchio

Etc etc

The Apple Weather one is amusing. Went to Barbados the other year and it said rain every day. To be fair, it was right - rained for about 10 minutes. Rest of the day was baking.

I use XC weather as it has wind speeds that needed for my businesses. Seems pretty accurate

Getting skirts to blow up isn’t a business

Well why when I ask if I can look up skirts do ladies say “mind your business”?

They all use data from plane journeys. It should start getting more accurate as more flights take place. Found the BBC weather app to be pretty good.

I have this by my front door. It never fails. Easy to make, transportable and doesn't rely on a phone signal. Knock yourself out with loads of fun!

That's exactly it. How can you plan for things like that?

My friend has a weather rock outside his back door.
If the rock is wet, it's raining. If the rock is dry it isn't raining. If he can't see the rock it's foggy, and if the rock is missing, it's windy!!

Still none the wiser.

Accuweather says it will be sound

Met office says bar Sunday it will be nice

Bbc says Monday and Wednesday shit.

Glad to see they are on the same page
