the person very rarely gets the weather right

Use metoffice instead:
Metcheck is rarely accurate and the site seems to be down alot.

I used to check this site religiously to check the weather for climbing locations but i have lost confidence in it due to lack of accuracy. The conditions forecast are close at best but often ive been expecting glorious sunshine and found overcast skies.
The site has also been down quite alot recently, I do find the interface very easy and quick to use, but my friends and i have started calling it metguess and i shall leave it at that.

Usually superior to other weather sites in terms of location precision, accuracy, and functionality, but I have seen what are plainly programming faults giving predicted 150mph winds and the picture symbols contradicting the precipitation predictions. I also miss the fact that the longer range predictions are no no longer available free. That I so miss that, and become frustrated when the site is (too often) out measures how good I have generally fond it. I also find it reasonably brisk on my 6 mpbps connection.

when it loads it fine,...but it loads way way too slow!!!!!!!

web site goes down way to often - and can stay down for a long time - use another one

In the last month I have found met chect fantastic with almost perfect short and medium term forecasts, which is more than can be said for the met office.
Their site appears to be down at the moment which is probably because whe word is out and people are starting to wverload the server. hope they are beck soon.

Metcheck is a good site for the amateur weather enthusiast. There are lots of fun gadgets, regular written weather forecasts and warnings and the general layout of the website is simple to understand. For a small monthly subscription you can gain even more. I am a member and my favourite part is getting an impressive hourly full colour satellite picture of Europe.

My only gripe with Metcheck is the amount of down time it experiences. Especially during high traffic times e.g. when it snows, their servers become overloaded and you cannot access the site when you want to most. Their automatic 7 day forecasts seem more accurate than the BBC website's but still leaves a lot to be desired.

All in all Metcheck is a very interesting site, There are reports from members from all over the UK, which I find useful, the detail is extensive.
