For all you weather watchers out there (and I guess as bikers we all are, right?) I use the attached link, which turns out pretty accurate most of the time. Just tap in your postcode and off ya go. It'll even give you an hourly forecast for the next few days. You sometimes need to click refresh a few times for it to load up properly.

I used the BBC forecast this morning (3.30am) to see what the weather would be doing in my area, and it informed me that it was minus 8 outside. IT wasn't, cos my bike didn't have any frost on it, and it started first time.

As a courier I am a weather watcher so I can decide which bike to use, I watch BBC Breakfast and also the local news and weather and on Sunday's I watch Countryfile for the weekly weather so I get a clue about the week.


Thanks for the link DAF, that could be useful. Razz

For all the Firefox users out there

https://forecastfox.mozdev.org/

It's a neat little extension available that shows a forecast for the next few days in your status bar.

Good stuff as you can see at a glance what the weather is doing or you can click the icons for a more detailed forecast.
