Advantages: Accurate forecasts and easy to use
Disadvantages: Technical problems often an issue
There are a great number of weather forecasting websites available on the internet; generally, as with the weather, the quality of these varies considerably.
Despite this, I have found the Metcheck website to be consistently accurate. It provides accurate daily forecasts for about three weeks in advance. Obviously with the longer forecasting period, the accuracy varies and the weather usually calms somewhat from the initial claims. What I like particularly is that the forecast is not dramatised in any way as is so often the case these days.
In addition to the standard forecasts there are many other features available to subscribers which look useful, though as I'm not one of these, I can't comment further.
The site is well laid out and simple to use; the graphics are clear and easily identifiable. One thing which I would criticise is that site doesn't always seem to be working. I was somewhat alarmed to find forecast winds of 356mph one day last month! I haven't yet worked out when the site is updated as this does seem to vary from day to day. These are obviously technical issues which ought to be dealt with relative ease.
Overall though, it is clear, and easy to use; as far as I can see the most important thing is that the forecasts are accurate, and this seems to be the case here.
Summary: A sound solution
