Weather Report, BBC or GOOGLE?

I was looking at the weather report for the rest of the week and surprisingly BBC weather shows heavy rains for the next 4-5 days while on google it is all clear and dry and very hot.


Which should i trust? although looking at the current sky i feel like google is trustable. What is your opinion.|||Since you are in the UK you would always trust the weather forecaster that is actually closer to you like the BBC who gets their information from the Government Meteorologists at the Met office. You could also just go directly to the Met Office website at http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/u鈥?/a>|||Weather observations are collected worldwide by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) a division of the United Nations. It is then re-distributed to the member countries, together where national authorities, like the NOAA run models like the Global Forecast System (GFS).





There are many models and weather providers like weatheronline.co.uk give you several of them to choose from.





Some other providers prefer to select only one and base their forecast on that. Weather forecasting will never be entirely accurate. There is no way to say that one model is better than another. In any case, they all have to be adapted for local considerations; is there a high mountain range that limits the precipitations? Is there a cold oceanic current that will create fog in coastal regions? All those can only be done with local knowledge and never more than for the next 24 hours.|||Go to www.theweatherchannel.com they have the most up to date information and are very reliable.
