I feel your pain but here the weather forecast this morning has so far proven wrong, following the pattern of the last 6 months . i.e forecast this morning here was for rain turning to showers with a dry night .Not had a spit or a spot all day so am expecting a downpour overnight seems the best thing to do is follow the opposite of the forecast or revert to watching cows lay down ,birds flying high, go to the beach and get some seaweed or get up at dawn and check wether its raining before 7 . Seriously the accuracy of forecasts has been diabolical this last few months wether it be the next few hours or a week in advance .Absolute heaving again.
Couldnt agree more in regard to the 'accuracy' of the forecasts, 'diabolical' they certainly are. An recent extensive online search turned up around 10 different forecast providers, all of which (in my area at least) resulted in a different 'forecast', that all turned out to be incorrect!!. They are always making claims as to how much better the forecasts are thesedays, now they have these wonderful 'Super Computers' which provides such 'accuracy' etc.......(HaHa). Meanwhile in the 'Real World' there is the 'actual weather' on the day........very different. My personal (certainly over the past year) experience is that the forecast(s) are now routinely incorrect on the same day, let alone two to three days ahead, anything after that is purely computerised 'guesswork' and not even worth considering.I feel your pain but here the weather forecast this morning has so far proven wrong, following the pattern of the last 6 months . i.e forecast this morning here was for rain turning to showers with a dry night .Not had a spit or a spot all day so am expecting a downpour overnight seems the best thing to do is follow the opposite of the forecast or revert to watching cows lay down ,birds flying high, go to the beach and get some seaweed or get up at dawn and check wether its raining before 7 .
