mike1714 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I have found that www.metcheck.com are still not operating.....a week now!!! A bit frustrating. I check other websites but like using Metcheck as a comparison. Is anybody else experiencing problems with them? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheman Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Same here, very frustrating although they are updating the forecast news on the homepage. We must apologise once again for the continued problems with the automatic forecasts on the site. Our techie guys are trying to sort the issues as quickly as they can. hopefully it will be fixed soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcusFlyer Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 xcweather.co.uk is good and seems to be working. Hard to tell which of these weather sites is 'screen scraping' from which but xcweather has been useful to me for a few years now. Hover over an arrow for a forecast.

surrey-dad Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 xcweather.co.uk is good and seems to be working.Hard to tell which of these weather sites is 'screen scraping' from which but xcweather has been useful to me for a few years now. Hover over an arrow for a forecast. I have also found xcweather very useful for tracking winds (easy interface for a newbie like me) Just a shame that cannot zoom into a region of UK map, as Lambourn is a little hard to place. Although taking it as SW of Benson with recent NE'lies, it seemed bang on for last Saturday. It may be a coincidence, but xcweather was also offline a few times last week...

mike1714 Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 Yep, I use 'XC Weather' and 'Metcheck'. I find Metcheck can pinpoint your specific home and XC Weather just the region......................but both can do an excellent job and are both pretty much similar.

Phil_P Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I just go to the Met Office site, figuring it's probably pretty close to the horses mouth so to speak. From here; http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/ You can narrow thing down, choose forecast or history, choose wind, weather, pressure etc. zoom to your region/city, and even add a 'gadget to your browser that will bring up a handy side bar with details that you choose.

surrey-dad Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Thanks Phil - that is another useful URL to add to my rapidly growing list of PPG related bookmarks... Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
