Hi Zaphod wavey – is it possible to get accurate UK weather predictions for say, the next month?

I need to take some leave and would prefer to take it when it's boiling so I can hide in my cool house but I have to give 5 day’s notice so It would be great if I could find out when it might be really hot.

(really hot is anything above 17šC to me).

Ta in advance...

Hi bunny... have a mooch around this met office site ... http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/we...orecast_weather.html ... to see if there is anything long range

30 day weather forecasts do tend to be a bit hit and miss though


UK Outlook for Monday 29 Jun 2009 to Wednesday 8 Jul 2009:

Cloud and rain, some heavy is expected to reach the southwest during the day on Monday. The rest of the UK generally dry though rather cloudy in places. The best of any sunshine likely to be in the northwest. The unsettled weather is expected to affect much of western UK over the following few days with some rain or showers at times, possibly heavy. The east remaining largely dry, though a good deal of cloud at times, especially towards the coast. Temperatures away from the coast largely warm or very warm. From later next week the more unsettled weather with nearer normal temperatures will move across all areas, though parts of the south and southeast well well remain largely warm and dry through this period.

Yes.. there is nothing like checking a forecast against actual weather to see how reliable it is... the met office are bringing up a new supercomputer to try and improve their forecasting but I do remember they used to do a long range weather forecast but scrapped it some time ago when it proved no more reliable that just guessing Big Grin

I know Zaph.... I think I'm just hoping something great happens... and it becomes interesting, but I believe with no Live Feed, we cant even pretend we are seeing/hearing what we should... it is a load of crock now, I agree... I usually record it and fast-forward most of it... such a shame, as Ive loved it for so long, but more than that, loved, abs loved reading the LUT's ... and the reporting of the *proper* goings-on.. Disappointed
*Di*
It is difficult to get a feel for just how many people would watch live feed and, off course, the smaller sub-set that both contributed and read the LUT but no Live Feed has killed it stone dead for me... as I have said often before.. I never had live feed but would read the LUT to get the real version of what was going on not the highly selective edited highlights
