Alternative Weather Sites
Firstly the trusty BBC site
is user friendly allowing you to enter your postcode for a bespoke
forecast which always appears on the front page of the BBC news page.
It uses the Met Office
model data.
MetCheck This site
uses the American forecast model data and allows you to make your own
graphs of forecast weather parameters and another useful site is MeteoGroup which also uses
American forecast model data and Met Office radar data.
For rainfall see: http://www.raintoday.co.uk/

is another good weather forecast web site in Norwegian.
Weather on line is
another interesting site with historical data.
weather.co.uk is a site from the
Weather Channel and gives a local forecast

site for visualising the wind field over the U.K. at the current time
http://www.wunderground.com/ has loads of maps of present and
forecast weather using the American model.
