If it's any use, I personally don't look very often at the Met-Office general forecasts.

I look at TAFS, since those are generated by local forecasters with some reasonable local knowledge (or should be, I've heard rumours that this isn't true any more, but not had them confirmed).

And for weather charts I look here which uses USAF data rather than UK met office, and in my experience is a bit more reliable (also very clear and readable).


And then I make my own mind up !

(N.B. In case others haven't noticed, the new BBC weather 24 hour forecast is fairly helpful for flying purposes - www.bbc.co.uk/weather , then select a town, then click on the "24hr" tab on the top.)
