Another hint for private use ..
why not make your own forecast ?
At least for domestic purposes ...
Here you can find a lot of numerical weather information:

(Bodendruck = surface pressure, Mittl. Wolken = medium level clouds, Niederschlag = precipitation, Taupunkt = dew point, Stromlinien = stream lines, other words like 'Temperatur' are self explaining I hope)
Here you get this in higher resolution, at least for England and Wales:

The modelling is done by the Yanks and it is at least worth a try - they do a very good job for Southern Germany.
