I know that weather reports are always variable but there is a 17 degree difference between weather.com and weatherunderground forecasts for Milan, which seems rather excessive. Of course, this means freezing rain and snow on weather.com and partly cloudy (I'd say downright balmy) on the other.

I had very inaccurate forecasts from weather.com last month for London and Paris which predicted rain on 5 of the 7 days I was there, when it never rained at all and was around 7 degrees colder. I'm going to privilege weatherunderground and hope that works better.

"Partly cloudy" can turn into rain, freezing or otherwise, pretty fast.

As they say, "bring your rubbers" just in case.

If you really do give credence to any London weather forecast 7 days or more out, you're just the sort of special person who'll appreciate the offer I'm about to make.

Not many people realise that it's possible to buy a 50% stake in the Eiffel Tower. But, just for this week...

i wasn't even aware that any site had the audacity to go beyond a 7 day forecast...

Most of the ones I use are very similar, but I don't trust them much beyond 3 days or so, anyway, except general ideas. That is an extreme difference, though, but weather.com is obviously a lot more pressimistic.

Weather forecasting anywhere has become a very iffy proposition.

My local weather Web site - supported by all the experts and high-tech gadgets of Environment Canada - gets things right about 50% of the time over a three-day period...

Fishee, accuweather give a 15-day forecast. You can also see the average temperature for the whole year on most websites.

FainaAgain, I hate to be the one to tell you, but historical records are no longer reliable either...
