whos the most accurate to get your forecast from

met eireann are really getting my back up lately, have a load of different ways to get a forecast......usual suspects magic seaweed, accuweather and more but i presume they are all munching the same data from weather bouys and satellite images so whos the most accurate in the game lads and i suppose im just venting a bit of "its their fault the weathers shite" type anger so in order

nature and wildlife,,,,forget about those big satelite dishes met eireann have

I just keep looking at the different sites until I find one that suits me

Seriously though.... Wetterzentrale's charts are great for a look forward though it does take a little study. After that its the like of Met E, XC, Magic S, Guru, UKMET etc. etc. I would use the ECMWF for a second opinion long range.
The ME 3 hour is usually fairly spot on and their 12hour chart is handy. I know they sometimes get it wrong but overall they are fairly good. I think the current spell (2 months ) makes life difficult for forecasters - Unpredictable low after unpredictable low.

ah brian your a gas man, what you suggesting.......look deep into the iris of a water vole then again theres always the other way which is stick your head out the back door

surfers yes the over weights seals very handy to find out what the weed situation is, is there a much of a surf and what kind of wind also use met , a compass and loadza of luck

id have to agree...met eireann can be really poor for the forecast,iv stopped using them...i find the artel pages on weather very good & fairly accurate & if you have a smart phone there is some good apps. 1 being called irish weather...

Has to be M.T Cranium on Boards.ie weather , this guy (Canadian) is a bit of a legend and I would trust his forecast above anyone else !

He forecast the cold spell (and the severity of it) well before met.ie had even said the weather would get cold!
In todays forecast outlook he said "models are beginning to show some very warm weather patterns in early July which, if they come to pass, could bring highs of 25 to 28 C well inland in southeast to south breezes"
Hope he's right

Foreget Accuweather etc. or any other generic euro weather site ... only good for advertising cheap hotels !
In fairness you can get a pretty good idea of coming weather also from magicseaweed.com based on sea charts.

If its about weather try this. I have been using this for a long time.

He forecast for June was we would have a few sunny days and the best dates for this would be between 14-20 I told him to take up golf.

i gave up on met eireann a long time ago, was fed up of reading "Small craft warning" for my area only to take a drive down and be looking at flat calm seas . I find XC Weather pretty accurate or wind Guru

Yes XC weather http://www.xcweather.co.uk/ has been very good for me until the last few weeks, I don't think any of them are reliable at the moment
