Just checked the weather forecast for w/c 29 June, we were supposed to be going away camping that week but had to postpone till end of July, I have been doing a rain hop (can't dance on one foot lol!) eversince for rain, just checked the weather forecast and metcheck are saying blazing sunshine :-( ...... this is one time that I would be quite happy for metcheck to be wrong at least by a couple of weeks!

I looked at metcheck before I went away last weekend and it predicted snow, yes snow. Came home with my head sunburnt, so take their weather predictions with a very large pinch of salt.

I've decided not to look at weather forecasts - we went away last week, too.  We were a bit concerned about the severe storm / hail forecasts but not a drop of rain in four days...  It was lovely!

They are pretty rubbish, metcheck changes even during the day, you can look in the morning and it says one thing and look again in the afternoon and it says another.  It forecast rain for our camping trip last weekend and it was scorching hot, and guess who had to go and buy suncream!!!

I am keeping my fingers crossed its wrong for the weekend too, gives rain showers on Saturday and its my twin boys' birthday party and we had planned to have a bouncy castle and I can't cope with 9 million (ok slightly less) 4/5 year olds all inside with nothing to do!!!!!!
