Weather forecast?

in Problem solving
Hi all; doubtless been asked many times before, but what do we use for a gardener-centric weather forecast site/app?  I use BBC Weather for general stuff - can narrow it down to my specific postcode - and I seem to remember Metcheck having a "hobbies"  bit with gardening being one, but no idea what's reliable and what's any good.  Obviously, this time of year accurate frost forecasting's the crucial bit.  Welcome thoughts!

    Actually, I'm looking at the gardening bit on Metcheck now - seems quite good, as can scroll down to see colour coded temps with anything light blue being bad news for my cosmoses!  No idea re accuracy though - anyone?

    On Metcheck, I mainly use Weather > Forecasts > Frost risk

    Hadn't realised that was there Athelas - looks very promising.

    I use the BBC local. It's usually pretty good. Need anti-depressants every time I look just now.

    !!! Have a look at Athelas' Frost checker then @posy - horrible blue spikes well into May!
    Nice here today though (Midlands), so will be making the most of it shortly :)

    Oh no! We don't normally do frost after the first week in April, down here!

    Hadn't seen how far south you were - lucky you!
