Great for an "at-a-glance" look at wind direction, speed, max/min
temperature, pressure, precipitation , cloudcover and humidity (dewpoint)
over the next 7 days.

Can anybody tell me what the 2mRF (%) graph means?

Looks like it could be relative humidity, presumably measured at a
height of 2 metres.

Yes. RF will be German "relative Feuchtigkeit" = relative humidity.

Brilliant thanks for sharing that, will bookmark!

Apologies if I am pointing out the obvious here, but you can specify
different locations in the url

hence http://wetterzentrale.de/pics/MS_005515_g05.png

note the "005515" in the url
is 0.5deg W and 51.5deg N

http://wetterzentrale.de/pics/MS_025555_g05.png
note the "025555" in the url
is 2.5deg W and 55.5deg N
(closest to my part of the world)

[it only seems to work in ½° increments]

Also see the meteograms here http://pages.unibas.ch/geo/mcr/3d/meteo/ if you
haven't already.

Does GFS ever get the temperature forecasts correct for the UK?
Forecasted temperature minima and -especially- maxima are usually far
from reality here.
