Hi all,

I have been using www.metcheck.com for a few years, but I find it to be
regularly pessimistic. I have often cancelled my plans for the day on the
grounds of heavy rain forecast in the London area, but then the rain doesn't
materialise. It seems to predict three times as many rainy days as we
actually get. Does anyone know know a more reliable source of information? I
might even stretch to paying for the info.

Thanks.

Thanks, I'll give that a bash. I didn't think of trying that because I
thought Metcheck was the Met Office's site.
