What is the best 24/48 hour rain forecasting website. I have started looking at weatherzone, which uses Opticast modelling. Are there any better options. I have only been looking at the site for a few days but so far the % chance and the actual seen don't seem to be overly that great. Any thoughts or is that as accurate as it gets.
I know all this is irrelevant as in 2 months it will be nearly 0% for the next 6 months.
Anything with a rain radar on it. They can't forecast anyway so check the radar for yourself and work out what's coming and wether or not it'll hit you.
Look on the Elders website that all the farmers use
Whatever is shown on there never eventuates apparently
so which site you look at is maybe dictated by if you want it to rain or not rain
If Seabreeze shows 3 drops of water, then light sprinkles. If 4 drops, then it will rain.
I like the standard weather that comes on the iPhone. It gives rain % chance for every hour for the next 24 hours, and seems to a reasonable job.
Elders always gives 5% chance of less than 1mm of rain, as this is the default for dew in the morning on fine days.
This isn't too bad most of the time for a long term forcast.

Their "Meteogram" hour by hour, is great and usually very good for wind.
Wind Guru gives you cloud cover at 3 different levels, high cloud, Mid and Low, and then the forecasted rain in MM below that, It's right more often than its wrong.
