Do they really "get it right more often..."? If this is what you are
suggesting, can you provide or link to independent evidence to support
it?
It's difficult to compare. At least TWO and Metcheck are prepared to
publicise their forecasts.
All you ever see from the Met Office are vague and almost useless
soundbites like 'warm and dry at first, then becoming wetter and windier'.
More detailed long range forecasts do exist of course, but they cost
several hundred pounds.
