I've just being trying to find a reasonably accurate forcast for Saturday as i'm supposed to be going flying. I've looked on the met-office.gov/aviation website but unfortunately it doesn't extend to the weekend.
I then saw a link to 'talk to a met office forecaster'. Great I think and click on it.
Now, bearing in mind when I was flying in Florida I could just ring up the nice people in St Petersberg, give them my route and they would give me the actual and forecast weather plus any NOTAMS etc for my planned route for free.
Finally, I think to myself, i've found this service in the UK. I click on the link and what does it say?
