I think yr.no just gives you an (unjustified)? feel good factor as to the accuracy due to having an enormous database of place names.

MWIS is good to refer to too (I have more confiedence in it than the MO mountain forecast) but I feel they err on the side of caution slightly when it comes to wind speeds.

So far yr.no is winning today's accuracy test - last night it said rain between 10am and 12am, metoffice said the rain would stop by 10. It just started raining and the clouds are thickening :P

Not exactly an exhaustive test but it's in line with what I've found in the past...

Metoffice just launched a summits forecast, sounds a bit optimistic but time will tell.

Does anyone pay much attention to the humidity in the forecasts as an indicator of good climbing / greasiness conditions? A friend has developed a minor obsession about it.
