| WEATHER FORECASTS |
|
Winster seems to get a mix of 'North-West' and 'East Midlands' weather, which makes radio and TV forecasts less useful. The Met Office now offer a specific Peak District forecast, strong on detail 48 hours ahead - for longer-range forecasts see their forecasts for Bakewell, and for 6-15 days ahead, see their East Midlands forecast. The BBC offer 5-day forecasts for Bakewell and Matlock (which are sometimes surprisingly different). I have set up a (rather crude) 5-day comparison for these two forecasts. Metcheck offer detailed forecasts for the DE4 area covering the next 48 hours , the next 7 days and the following week. (They also offer a Barbecue forecast, but you have to enter the postcode in specially to use this so I can't give a direct link - go to their main page and find the right button on the left hand side). I have no idea how accurate they are - comments very welcome. For a UK-wide picture of weather now, there is a visible-light satellite image - good during daylight but useless at night) and an infrared satellite image available from the Met Office - reasonably quick for Broadband users, but possibly taking rather a while if you are a dialup user. |
