meteo.fr was really reliable here till about 2 years ago. I am not sure if the French lost a satellite or something but since then multiple occasions of 25 degrees in sunshine instead of cold and rainy 12 degrees as they said. Or a couple of times actually in the middle of a violent storm whilst constant sunshine for 3 days goes on. Checking their website live with this going on.
It’s also hugely weighed down by ads now and defo less informational on mobile than desktop since the ads came. TBH I’m more accurate than they are just sticking my head out the door in the morning now. So disappointing as they used to be accurate to within half an hour.
I’ll go through this thread and try out the ones you are all mentioning - thanks to all.
+1 tried all mentioned so far and the Norwegian one is head and shoulders above the rest. Not such a fancy interface just hour by hour, exactly thw weather you’re gonna get. They’ve named a weather station they’re using about 12 miles from me as the crow flies - the others that declare are using stations much further away in completely different types of region (such as high mountain 70km away).
Every suggestion everyone’s made has been better than meteo.fr though…Glad it’s not just me that’s been wondering what’s happened to meteo.fr accuracy.
It will be interesting to see which of the four apps I have on my phone is accurate tonight, the forecast from the four are 2C, 0C, -2C and -5C, no difference
At 10pm they all change their forecast, Frog weather (Google) and Norwegian ended up getting it right, windy was -3C but AccuWeather and metro ended up forecasting -6C and it reached -2C, hope my cherry trees are ok.
Not much use here in Bourgogne.
We use La Meteo Agricole.
Jim says he has found it has a more realistic forecast than others, which tend to be too pessimistic.
The one thing they don’t seem to get right is wind speed. They are saying today we are having light breezes. I wish! At the moment the gusts, as meteo France says, are reaching at least 50kph and the roses are being buffeted something rotten.
