Please help me with this. I need to find out the weather for Birmingham tomorrow but they are both saying different things. Is Accuweather good?

The Met Office is your best choice for reliability.



Accuweather uses the NWS Global Forecast Model as nearly their sole basis for weather forecasting. Since Accuweather is based out of State College, PA in the US. The do not have the local knowledge that anyone at the BBC or the Met Office would have. The other point I like to make is that the forecasters at Accuweather (some are very good) but they are rushed since they are preparing forecasts for areas around the world and often can not spend as much time working with the data as they would like so often they are more dependent on the model. The GFS model is good. However, it does have some bias during the winter and can dramatically be wrong which the forecaster may or may not pick up on for the weather in the UK. Thus, I would turn to the people who know the weather for the UK the best and that is the Met Office.

I don't know anything about the BBC, but Accuweather is probably the very worst source you could use. I concur with other posters, try the UK Met Office, or at the very least stick with the BBC.

I always use the BBC's website. I have heard the weather will be OK for London at the weekend. Just pack a cardigan just in case! Have a good time.
