I did use a pay-per-call weather forecast once. It was when I was doing Dawn to Dusk, and I needed good weather over a large area for a whole day. The forecast indicated that some good weather was on its way, but I couldn't tell which day out of two was going to be better.
I needed to arrange time off work, book the plane, organise a life-raft, arrange out-of-hours PPR and all those other things that need to be done before a Dawn to Dusk flight, so I called for an expert opinion on which day was most likely to give me the weather I needed. The forecaster I spoke to obtained exactly the same forecasts that I had just looked at on-line, and read them out to me. I told him I already had that information, but asked which day would, in his professional opinion, be better for my flight, and he wasn't able to give me an answer but again read the forecasts which I had already read myself. What a waste of money that was!
