Default Weather site Recommendation?

Hi All,

I enjoyed reading October's issue of Photography Monthly (UK based photography magazine), especially the article about taking photos mist/fog etc. In the article it made reference to "a number of useful weather forecast sites"... but the best I can find is a local section of the main Met office one here:

Met Office: Brighton: forecast weather

I live in sussex, near brighton in the UK. Does anyone have any better/alternative weather forecast sites that they can recomend?

Many thanks,
Lee

Default In my little neck of the woods...

If you ever find yourself on the other side of the North sea... One of my favourites is this one: Buienradar.nl - Weer - Actuele neerslag, bewolking, het weer, weerbericht, satellietbeelden.

It has sister sites for Belgium, Germany and Scandinavia and a low-bandwidth site for mobile use. My experience is that the site is very accurate in forecasting local rain.

I go to Metcheck. Apparently a lot of reporters use it.....it also has a fun element to it.
