Weather forecasters, don't you just love them?

[USER1999]

I never make any plans based on forecasts. They are nearly always wrong, in every which way. Weather apps are the worst invention ever. So many friends try to cancel stuff days in advanced based on bogus forecasts. Hanging up an old bit of seaweed would give more accurate results.

The cancelled Porthcawl open earlier in the year was a classic example of believing a ridiculous forecast.

Accuweather or magic seaweed, both decent ??

booked 12 at the kings forcaste is for rain until then and was rain non stop since last night. clear at the moment and not rained since 6.30.... what the betting its starts at 12 on the dot

Nah, it's usually lovely on the tee just to encourage you to go out, then it starts tipping it down halfway down the Third

Both say it's gonna rain - I'd just trust that - BTW it's sunny here on the East coast of Scotland

just back from walking the dog, and it's not very nice, so am giving it a miss. Next week looks a bit better. not much, but a bit better.

I'm on holiday next week - weather here looks OK, not sunny but largely dry.

Forecast was for biblical rain around 6.00 so cancelled the 9 hole round booked in. Forecast looking more optimistic now but the slot has been taken. may take my chances and see if I can get a range bay but Friday around 5.30-7.00 is peak time so doubtful
