This one suits me

I know it sounds good and might be right (by chance), but these guys are no better than Piers Corbyn. They're basically chucking out all existing meteorological knowledge and replacing it with very vague long range predictions which sometimes happen to be true. They refuse to say how their methods work and they have 3-5 staff working on this. We have more here!

I'm trying really hard not to rant. I know it looks nice and German, but this is actually Liechtenstein - looks quite German, but is tiny and of no significance.

AccuWeather dont seem so optimistic

[devonhammer]

As I have previously mentioned a mate of mine owns/runs netweather.tv.......his words to me are

"My weather forecaster says currently weds light rain, mild thurs less rain, getting warmer, gets better for the weekend but poss chance of light rain most days"

Not quite sure what to make of that.

Today's GFS 12Z run is out and that pesky predicted low is still lurking about.:angry:

Don't worry because:

1) GFS runs are not that reliable, and

2) That's the 6z - the 12z is only just starting now - give it half an hour

I completely missed your Netweather connections. Any chance you can point out to your mate that this site must have bumped up the Netweather visits by a significant amount and we'd love a bit of expert opinion on here?

Likewise with Finner. We'd love our own weather expert on here.

beautiful weather here in norwich at the moment. Corker of a day.

That GFS run is taking the piss :angry: it's as if they've deliberately picked out Pilton and put a blue blob on there for the entire run despite the fact the rest of the UK seems to be dry. Another crazy run to ignore, perhaps I'm biased and just looking for positivity but does seem odd

damn weather does my head in, this time yesterday there was talks of heatwaves and all sorts, now there is far to much talk of the R word...i am a bit worried about JACKONE'S update tonight.

we can make f**kin computers the size of bastard pin heads now, but still can't predict the bastard weather.....

Ive no idea how to read any of these charts. I think all of you people are mentally disturbed.

For us not meteorologists, whats the best/most accurate site with degrees and a nice pic of the sun? We’ll call it a “idiot chart” – accuweather, metcheck etc?

[nellyt66]

The met office must have based their forecast on yesterdays ECM .. interesting to see what Jackone makes of it all tonight.

I can't see why any of us bother with GFS ... an own goal if ever I saw one.

So is the general consensus that it's all to play for but something like 2007 is unlikely? Sorry miles behind on the thread due to work

i think we all got a bit overexcited yesterday, and todays models are bringing us back down to earth, jackone reduced his % to 40 yesterday so will be interesting to see what happens tonight.

This weather thread is worse than an England match for suspense... Now all we need is the sun to drop out the sky and roll slowly behind the Mendips and we will have the lot..

[formed a band]

there are two skills on here

firstly for those on here who are mentally ill enough to understand those charts

secondly for the simpleones among us just to choose which answers to read

how is it looking on the oktoberfest scale?
