Can anyone link me to a reliable website for Font's weather. 1-2 day accuracy is most important.

Perhaps someone who's stayed here for a while can help. I'm currently using the overview on thehouse.fr just to get an idea if it'll rain and then yr.no for hourly forecasts but it's been unreliable for even very short term predictions. Even tried meteo france and that one is wildly wrong.

Perhaps a site with a low res mobile site would be good as I'm trying to view on my gf's shitty little blackberry (and type too, which is driving me to suicide).

This weather thing is a nightmare, took a rest day yesterday (clear skies, dry all day) because the forecast said it wouldn't rain until late afternoon today, yet I'm led here in bed and it's been raining for the last 45 minutes!

I've always used

Looks a bit mauvais tbh. Maybe a bit of soleil this apres midi, but otherwise beaucoup pluies.

might not work well on a Blackberry

good for spotting the gaps between showers - you can see the big patch of rain that got you this morning

http://www.accuweather.com/en/fr/national/weather-radar

maybe some of the other rain radar sites

I use Meteofrance but it is fairly inaccurate, tending to err on the overcautious side. I dont know.where the raw data comes from and if its the same source as that used by other forecasters.

Having said that the forecast for Friday and the weekend is constant rain. I've cancelled weekend trips at short notice and its turned out fine though. Not very stable weather in the region.

http://www.meteoblue.com is the most popular weather site among climbers down in Toulouse

norwegian weather service is usually very good, they do get it wrong sometimes, but at least they try to give you hour by hour forecast:

or for mobile:

i like the automated version of meteociel, comes in 3h steps and condition-related variables such as wind and humidity are clearly laid out.

http://www.meteociel.fr/previsions/28583/arbonne_la_foret.htm

unprocessed estimates coming straight out of the model, most of the times it seems reasonably accurate.

the big drawback is for low precipitations as they seem to be hourly averages - it doesn't make the difference between an quick shower that might dry out quickly and a persistent, depressing bruine (drizzle)

Thanks for the replies people.

Like I said, haven't had much accuracy with yr.no or meteo france but meteoblue was pretty spot on yesterday so I'm going to add that one to the list. Will try the others today.
