Weather forecasts

Since buying my cc last October, I've paid more attention to weather forecasts, keeping an eye out for clear skies and reasonable temperatures for some roof down driving. Saturday forecast said not bad for Sunday - Wrong! Half way through washing the car looking forward to some top down driving, it rained! Then rained for the rest of the day. Never mind, Monday looks good - Wrong! More rain, drizzle and clouds. Let's hope the rest of the week improves.

It's funny how most forecasts for the same region from different sources are completely different. With all the super computers and satellites I'm sure they just randomly produce forecasts which completely change over the following 12 hours! Maybe I need some seaweed to hang outside the back door.

Gripe over :evil:

Its only a matter of time, the big question at the minute is that most of the time when it is sunny and clear its very cold. Do we DARE to get it down.

Yeah watching forecasts is a part time hobby when owning the CC :)

Your best bet is to go by https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/ ... ather.html
