That's exactly why i started using our local weather station's website a few years back. They are pretty much bang on with the forecasts every day while the met office only ever get it right in hindsight, when they update the page in the evening the days temp for example magically jumps from the forecasted 15C to the actual 22C it was. I wouldn't mind the odd time getting it wrong but they get it wrong almost every day when small weather stations without their resources can get it right most of the time.
