Hi everyone,

I know I've not posted here for some time, but still like to lurk
occasionally... I am getting married next Saturday (30th), and was
wondering whether anyone here is brave enough to have a punt at what
the weather's going to be like in Yateley, Hants. The Met Office says
becoming unsettled towards the end of next week, but doesn't give
specific regions.

I know it's a long way out, but I thought I'd get your forecasting
brains warmed up for the long cold winter ahead ;o)

Can't be much help there but hello Ian from days of yore and congrats.
Thankfully you're not getting married this weekend - bit of a windy
one - potentially.

Thanks Richard - I will wait for Will to impart his local knowledge ;-)

I'll go for sunny in the morning, clouding over in the afternoon.

I was right about the weather following St Swithun's Day and about the
heavy rain we have had latter, so perhaps it will be third time lucky
for you and your bride :-). Good luck anyway, despite what the weather
brings on your wedding day.

Cheers, Alastair.

I'll reiterate my earlier statement

Although features this small at T+120 can wobble around all over the
shop.

Woah - I hope we don't get one of those next weekend. Where's Will
when you need him?!

I think you may have to warn the bride's mother to hang onto her hat.

Since Ian will probably have other matters on his mind tonight, I
thought it best for me to congratulate myself for forecasting his
Wedding Day weather correctly!

The BBC forecast for Yateley today is:

After a dry and fine start with some sunshine, a few showers are
likely to develop by midday. Most of these should be well-scattered
with some places staying dry.

Seems I got it about right nearly two weeks ago. Eat your hearts out,
all you self appointed experts :-)

Cheers, Alastair.

Which is not what you said, so your self-congratulations are somewhat
premature.

As you merely said sunny in the morning, clouding over in the
afternoon - and some parts of Hampshire have had showers already; plus
it looks like they may get a temporary improvement this afternoon, it
could be argued that you were 100% wrong.
