These are the websites we use the most to check local weather

It is always recommended that you check your local weather conditions frequently before venturing out on land and especially on the water. By regularly comparing current and predicted weather conditions on websites such as these with what actually happening, without complaining how the met office "always" get it wrong, you will build up knowledge about your local region. Many spots through the UK (and around the world) have 'local climatic conditions' that are not accurately reflected in overall met office predictions. The importance of making this a constant study will allow you to predict more accurately when adverse conditions may happen despite what the main forecast says. Likewise, you may often enjoy favorable unpredicted conditions.
