Visit regularly to see their forecast for up to 15 days and the surface
pressure charts as well. Their high resolution rainfall radar is
particularly useful although it is only on test until Feb 2010, it would be
very nice if this was made permanent.

The trouble with many pages, like the pressure charts, is that they
are updated so infrequently. So for the MetO pressure charts I go viahttp://www.ukweather.freeserve.co.uk/nwp.htm

I do look at the recent reports from local stations, but once again
there are more (as far as Cornwall is concerned) available, and often
more up to date, onhttp://www.xcweather.co.uk/

I probaly look at the warning pages most. For rainfall I normally usehttp://www.raintoday.co.uk/. It seemed to do a surprisingly good job
at determining the form of the precipitation.

For UK Fax charts I find this the most convenient:

They're all there just by scrolling.
