    Default Good astronomy weather forecast



    Hi everyone, is there a good astronomy weather forecast for a persons location other than Intellicast or full screen radar? I have tried both and they really aint that accurate. So I guess what I was asking is , I need a accurate forecast with radar for my location, any help would be appreciated.

    I use Radarscope for weather radar on my iPhone/iPad. It's 9.99 but it's well worth the price lots of info you can gather on this one app. As far as a forecast maybe use weather underground.

    Default Re: Good astronomy weather forecast

    I am in the UK and use two: MET Office and Accuweather.... typically of British weather neither are ever that accurate until the day in question actually comes around. I can check them for a couple of days down the line to try and plan a session but then it comes to it and it's gone from an 8 to a 1. I do like to cross reference the two, but I find Accuweather the best for telling me exactly what I want to know, i'm pretty sure they have a radar feature on there as well but I don't ever use it.
