I use the metoffice site. BBC useless because they seem to use the forecasts from met office the day before. Wunderground site even worse says 2C for our area.
The June frost of which I speak was a total devastation all round. So many people bought replacement packets of runner beans that you could not get one anywhere.The forecast temperature keeps on changing. The rain forecast for Saturday has now changed to hail showers. ??? Don't they know we are still desperate for rain. Friday night forecast temp gone down and Saturday gone up. BBC weather a total frustation. They forecast rain mid morning a while back which I thought was odd since there was nothing on the radar. It seemed so stupid for them to do a forecast without consulting the radar. If there is going to be rain there just has to be clouds for it to come out of. Someone posted a link to this site http://www.raintoday.co.uk/. I find it great if there is a blob heading our way it seems to rain.
Newbie question about coping with weather. If it is throwing it down, windy and feels cold am I supposed to remove fleece from such as my mini sweetcorn which I planted out last week? Should I have fleeced mangetout?Also I bought a digital max min thermometer yesterday so if I put this on the bottom shelf of my plastic greenhouse will it give me an indication of the outside temps or should I put it in a plastic bag and site it on the surface of one of my beds?
