Cheltenham 2026

I know weather forecasts aren't a precise science, but I sometimes use the above websites to help read a weather update for local radio, but the amount of times they get it wrong is quite bad.

I only use them now if I have to record the day before the broadcast.

Otherwise I just use my own eyes on the day.

I agree - I used to be obsessed by them when I was running horses as it was crucial for some of mine not to hear the word soft in the going. That said the CofCs were somewhat "selective" with their going reports!

You'd have to hope that the Met Office as the premier weather forecasters in the country should get it the most accurate? I know they had a big fall out with the BBC a few years ago hence the split and differences in reports.

They've reunited with them:-

BBC reunites with Met Office for weather forecasts

After eight years apart, the BBC wants the Met Office to help provide "the most trusted" forecasts.

I used to use the Met Office app, but deleted it as they were wrong far more than they were right for where I live.
