Anyway the official French forecasts are provided by Meteo France and if you click on this link it will provide the forecast for Creuse.http://www.meteofrance.com/FR/mameteo/prevDept.jsp?LIEUID=DEPT23Baz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJay Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 It seems all forecasts are hit & miss. You could check here too.http://www.lafranceagricole.fr/index.php?menu=meteo&prevision=semaine&page=METEO_DEPARTEMENTALE_POPUP&departement=23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Nice big URL, JJ!I find this site more reliable than most, having done a comparison of about half a dozen.Weather SiteIt does daily, hourly and 10-day forecasts with a decent choice of towns to centre on all over France.

hoverfrog Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 the concensus seems to be very hot, with the chance of thunderstorms late afternoon/evening in the 'mountains' of the plateau de mille vaches, occasionaly extending down the valleys.Bleu Limousin radio station seems to get it right for us (Limoges side of Eymoutiers) but the TV and internet often don't agree and are all wrong!

Alcazar Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I find French forecasts generally right, especially those from the local-type papers.The worst are UK forecasts, from the metoffice: WRONG for us on Humberside nearly every day. They only seem to care about the south east, a bit like the BBC: if it's not happening to London, it's not happening.Our local metoffice forecast is updated to match whatever's happening, quite regularly!Alcazar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is like the mind set of those living in the South East - everything stops at Watford [;-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-cat Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 You should try living in Northern Ireland!! The weather men (& women), on BBC & ITV are always summing up the forcast with something along the lines of - "it's going to be wall to wall sunshine, with a heat wave, all week" - & when you look at the map, the whole of NI is covered in grey cloud & lucky to even hit 20 degrees!! They only talk about the mainland & ignore us!! [:-))] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcazar Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Ali@ards: Now that's NOT true. The morning forecasts on BBC between 0600 and 0900 almost always include specifics for Northern Ireland, the weather lass even gets out of the way of the picture so we can see where it is, if we don't already know[;-)]The bit that gets my goat is that awful gasping Scottish weather lass, Carol Kirkwood, who refers to Northern Ireland as "Northern Orr-lind"Nelson: [:P][:P][:P][:P]Alcazar:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-cat Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I must admit -Norn Iron is always mentioned - but it's the general summing up, at the end, that seems to exclude us!! [:D] Talking about knowing where it is - did you see "That'll Teach 'em" where the kids were asked where Northern Ireland was & one kid pointed to Scotland!!
