Is there such a thing as a 14 day forecast?

Trying to look ahead to D2D!

    Not accurate ones.

    Anything after 3 days is fantasy according to the met. But it doesn't stop them or all the other sites putting up 15 day forecasts (that change daily). It's bollocks really.

    You can get a 14 day forecast on Metcheck

    Local Met offices can usually do reasonably accurate forecasts for 5 to 7 days. However, beyond that the GFS (American) product used by MetCheck, XC Weather etc. are rather unreliable anyway.

    the met do a 6-15 day forcast but at that point they talk about general trends over a few days, nothing accurate at all.

    what amazes me is the difference in forecasts between BBC weather and Metcheck, it's incredible. Time after time i had looked at both forecasts and one will say 'rain', the other 'sunny'. I think that BBC seems a touch more reliabe IMO, although you can get longer and more detailed forecasts on Metcheck

    Don't the BBC get their weather predictions from the MET though? I do find it odd that they differ so much
    It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.
